lignan biosynthetic process

Term ID

GO:0009807

Synonyms

lignan anabolism
lignan biosynthesis
lignan formation
lignan synthesis

Definition

The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of lignans, any member of a class of plant metabolites related to lignins. Lignans are usually found as phenylpropanoid dimers in which the phenylpropanoid units are linked tail to tail and thus having a 2,3 dibenzylbutane skeleton, but higher oligomers can also exist. 10074466
