Abstract: Lignocellulose biomass derived from plant cell walls is a rich source of biopolymers, chemicals, and sugars, besides being a sustainable alternative to petrochemicals. A natural armor protecting living protoplasts, the cell wall is currently the target of intense study because of its crucial importance in plant development, morphogenesis, and resistance to (a)biotic stresses. Beyond the intrinsic relevance related to the overall plant physiology, plant cell walls constitute an exquisite ex le of a natural composite material that is a constant source of inspiration for biotechnology, biofuel, and biomaterial industries. The aim of the present review is to provide the reader with an overview of the current knowledge concerning lignocellulosic biomass synthesis and degradation, by focusing on its three principal constituents, i.e. cellulose, hemicellulose (in particular xylan), and lignin. Furthermore, the current industrial exploitation of lignocellulose from fast growing fibre crops (such as hemp) is highlighted. We conclude this review by suggesting approaches for further research to fill gaps in our current knowledge and to highlight the potential of biotechnology and bioengineering in improving both biomass biosynthesis and degradation.
