Abstract Background Forage quality of maize is influenced by both the content and structure of lignins in the cell wall. Biosynthesis of monolignols constituting the complex structure of lignins is catalyzed by enzymes in the phenylpropanoid pathway. Results In the present study we have amplified partial genomic fragments of six putative phenylpropanoid pathway genes in a panel of elite European inbred lines of maize Zea mays L. contrasting in forage quality .
