Hello,

I no longer work in this area myself, but I previously worked in Andrew
Chesson's Biological Chemistry research group at the Rowett Institute
and we studied the lignin chemistry of forages in great detail.

Try doing a literature search for "A. Chesson" and "lignin". Andrew
Chesson has now retired, but our group did a lot of work in this area
until about 2000. My contribution to the research was quantitation of
plant anatomy in relation to forage degradability and nutritive value.

Bye,

Tony.
