Lignin-like fractions isolated from several ancestral plants –including moss, lycophyte, horsetail, fern, cycad, and gnetophyte species– were structurally characterized by pyrolysis-GC/MS and 2D-NMR spectroscopy. Py-GC/MS yielded marker compounds characteristic of lignin units, except in the moss and horsetail lignin samples, and the 2D-NMR experiments displayed intense correlations signals of guaiacyl (G) units in fern and cycad lignins, along with smaller amounts of p-hydroxyphenyl (H) units. Interestingly, the lignins from the lycophyte and the gnetophyte also incorporated significant amounts of syringyl (S) units, characteristic of angiosperms, which appeared much later in plant evolution. Remarkably, the HSQC spectra also revealed the presence of flavonoid compounds never reported before in natural lignins.
