Targeting Enhanced Digestibility: Prioritizing Low Pith Lignification to Complement low p-Coumaric Acid content as environmental stress intensity increase

This study investigates how water and heat stress affect forage maize digestibility, finding that stress increases cell wall digestibility through reduced p-hydroxycinnamic acid and altered lignin distribution.

Genotype-Dependent Response to Water Deficit: Increases in Maize Cell Wall Digestibility Occurs Through Reducing Both p-Coumaric Acid and Lignification of the Rind

This study examines genotype-dependent responses to water deficit in maize, finding increased cell wall digestibility linked to reduced p-coumaric acid and lignification in the rind.
