Lignin is a class of complex organic polymers that form important structural materials in the support tissues of vascular plants and some algae. Lignins are. Lignin is the generic term for a large group of aromatic polymers resulting from the oxidative combinatorial coupling of 4-hydroxyphenylpropanoids (Boerjan.
