Comparison of Lignin-Associated Genes Across Photosynthetic Organisms

In a study comparing the genomes of photosynthetic organisms, scientists identified genes specific to the synthesis of lignin. The resulting data are presented in the table.

Organism Group Approximate number of genes associated with an enzyme unique to lignin biosynthesis
Phaeodactylum Diatoms 0
Volvox Green algae
 A moss Bryophytes 12 
 Spike moss Lycophytes  38 
 Rice Monocots 55 
 Poplar tree Dicots 53
