摘要：. Time series on lignin model compounds revealed this change only in aromatic molecules with two OH-groups, such as coniferyl alcohol. Therefore, we conclude that monolignols are present in the cell wall and responsible for the observed effect. The solvent selectivity of the changes points to a laser induced polymerization process. The results emphasize how crucial careful adjustment of experimental parameters in Raman imaging of biological materials is and show the potential of time series and repeated imaging to get additional insights (e.g. monolignols).
