Not just Putin: Most Russians support the war in Ukraine

Amid the shock and horror of Russia's Ukraine invasion, many have sought to blame everything solely on Vladimir Putin.
As international audiences try to make sense of the unthinkable scenes currently unfolding in the heart of Europe, it is convenient to believe that Putin has simply lost his mind.
There is something reassuring about the idea that the carnage in Ukraine is all down to the criminal insanity of one man. However, talk of "Mad Vlad" is a comforting myth that disguises a far darker reality.
Dmytro Tuzov
The next stage of the war with Putin's Russia
While the Russian ruler's well-documented Ukraine obsession has been instrumental in sparking the largest European conflict since World War II, his decision to invade Ukraine was entirely consistent with longstanding public statements and foreign policy goals that are enthusiastically embraced by a clear majority of Russians. This is their war just as much as it is Putin's.
Recent polling data provides the clearest indication of Russian popular support for the war in Ukraine. In the days following the February 24 invasion, Putin's personal approval rating actually rose to multi-year highs. According to state pollster VTsIOM, his rating jumped six percent in the week ending February 27 to reach 70%. Fellow polling agency FOM recorded a seven percent increase over the same period, bringing approval of Putin to 71%.
Ordinary Russians have been queuing up to publicly endorse the war effort. The "Z" branding used by Russian troops in Ukraine is becoming increasingly ubiquitous across the country as a shorthand symbol of support, while a rapidly expanding list of public figures and professional collectives have released statements backing the invasion. For example, the heads of 250 Russian universities published an official address by the Union of Russian Rectors on March 4 justifying the war and calling on Russians to rally around Putin.
Meanwhile, domestic opposition to the invasion has been underwhelming. Protests have taken place in a number of cities across Russia but these efforts have attracted relatively small crowds and have failed to gain momentum.
While the courage of individual Russian protesters is not in question, it is futile to talk of a significant opposition movement until we see anti-war rallies attracting hundreds of thousands. At present, there no indication that this is likely to happen. Indeed, most Russians seem more concerned by the departure of international consumer brands from the country than by the war crimes being committed by their army in neighboring Ukraine.
Many Russians simply refuse to acknowledge the atrocities that have accompanied Putin's invasion.
Since the onset of hostilities, numerous reports have appeared in the international media recounting how Ukrainians have been unable to convince their Russian relatives that the Russian army is bombing Ukrainian towns and cities.
It is tempting to infantilize the Russian public and argue that they are simply being deprived of accurate information, but this is intellectually dishonest. While the country's mainstream media is strictly controlled by Kremlin curators, Russians are expert in the art of navigating propaganda and can easily access alternative sources of information if they are so inclined. The chilling truth is that tens of millions of Russians readily accept the Orwellian lies promoted by Kremlin TV and share the sentiments expressed by the country's pro-war cheerleaders.
Today's pro-war mood did not emerge overnight. For centuries, Russia has bitterly opposed Ukraine's struggle for statehood. Instead, Russians have been encouraged to adopt a condescending view of Ukraine as a younger brother in need of discipline and direction.
While folksy expressions of Ukrainian identity have traditionally been tolerated, any attempt to promote the idea of a truly separate Ukrainian nation has been interpreted as a direct attack on Russia and treated accordingly. Despite over three decades of Ukrainian independence, such imperialistic thinking remains alive and well in today's Russia.
Over the past eight years, the Kremlin has skillfully amplified these deep-seated prejudices and resentments. Since the 2014 seizure of Crimea and Moscow's military intervention in eastern Ukraine, the Russian public have been spoon-fed a daily diet of disinformation designed to demonize and dehumanize Ukrainians as Nazis and puppets of the West. In Putin's own words, modern Ukraine has become an "anti-Russia" that poses an existential threat to Russia itself.
Russia attacks Lutsk, Dnipro and Ivano-Frankivsk, orders to prepare a terror attack in Chornobyl (UPDATED)
In light of majority Russian backing for the invasion, it is unrealistic to expect sanctions or global condemnation to convince Putin of the need for a change in policy. On the contrary, rising costs imposed by the international community will only encourage more Russians to back the war effort and persuade them that the very existence of an independent Ukraine is part of a vast anti-Russian conspiracy. In this alternative reality, mounting hardships will be seen as the inevitable price of defending Russia against foreign enemies.
If the democratic world is serious about stopping Putin, it must abandon any hope of domestic opposition to the war. There will be no palace coups or popular uprisings as long as most Russians continue to share Putin's unhinged obsession with the subjugation of Ukraine. Instead, the only way to influence Russia is by depriving it of the revenues to fund its war machine while dramatically increasing Ukraine's ability to defend itself.
Putin's Ukraine invasion is the defining moment of his entire reign and he enjoys the emphatic backing of the Russian people. He will not back down unless he is bankrupted and bloodied.

Hit a Home Run with Steel.
America's favorite pastime is made possible by steel construction
Baseball is woven into the fabric of America, as is the steel industry – and both helped shape the identity of a nation in flux. The first game in the National League of Base Ball Clubs was played on April 22, 1876, when Union soldiers still occupied some of the southern United States. Now, with over 215,000 games under its belt, the Major League Baseball organization is worth about $36 billion and the 2017 World Champion Astros fill over 40,000 seats a game.
The metal industry had played an integral role in the baseball business since the very beginning of its rise in popularity. Today's stadiums are grand behemoths with innovative features that improve the overall experience for players and fans alike.
The Houston Astro's home field, Minute Maid Park, is constructed of steel and concrete, sprawling over 1,263,240 square feet across almost 29 acres of downtown real estate. Its 242-foot high retractable roof is made of steel panels transported by 140 35-inch steel wheels. Designed by architect, HOK Sports Facilities Group, and managed by Brown and Root Services, a Haliburton Company, the construction of the retractable roof enabled fans to enjoy open-air baseball in Houston for the first time in 35 years. The impact of steel is obvious on a grandiose scale, but it also supports the individual players – literally. Even baseball player's cleats use metal spikes on the soles.
At Texas Iron & Metal, we'd love baseball regardless of steel's role in game, but we can't help being in awe of Minute Maid's retracting roof and feel proud of our industry's impact on the great American sport.
Hit a home run and come check out Texas Iron & Metal's Prime or Less-Than-Prime© steel and pipe in person. We are proud to offer a large and varied inventory.

Button Men was the one of the first games that I absolutely fell in love with. Way back when, you know – in the last millennium – boardgaming as we know it was still a small thing over here in the United States. Most of the games that I had at the time were shipped here from Germany via Adam Spielt and I had printed out the rules to the game on my dot matrix printer from sites such as the Gaming Dumpster or maybe copied off of a thread from rec.games.board.
At the time, Cheapass Games was a company that promised good (if not great games) at a super low cost because they only gave you the minimum of bits – you were responsible for adding dice, coins, counters and whatnot to play the game. Sure, a lot of the games were good, and I certainly felt like I got my $3 to $5 worth of entertainment out of them… but three (IMHO) have stood the test of time: Kill Doctor Lucky, the Very Clever Pipe game and Button Men. Of those three, Button Men is the one that I still play regularly.
Button Men has a simple premise – it's a PvP duel between two fighting characters. The game gets its name from the original form of the game; the characters came on actual buttons that you could pin to your shirt. All you needed was a handful of dice and a few buttons and you could get your rumble on! As I was a recently converted D+D player, there were plenty of beautiful polyhedral dice sitting around collecting dust, so I was ready to go as soon as I had my first set of buttons.
Each Button Man has a number of dice icons on it – usually four or five. Most of the icons have one of the usual die numbers in it (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, etc) while some of them have an "X" in the die shape meaning that you can choose which die you use in that slot. (The value for X can actually be anything between 4 and 20, but if you choose an irregular die number, you'll have to figure out a way to fairly come up with the roll for that number). Each die is worth a number of points equal to the number of sides that it has.
Once you have selected your fighter and figured out which dice you need, then you dig up the matching dice from your trusty dice pouch and roll them. Your opponent does the same. Whoever has the single lowest number rolled gets to go first.
On a turn, you must make an attack if you can – either a Power Attack or a Skill Attack. If you are unable to make either type, then you simply pass and do nothing for your turn.
Power Attack – you use a single die of yours to capture an opponent's die. The number on your die must be equal or larger than the number showing on the opponent's die. The size of the dice involved does not matter, only the rolled number of that die. The captured die is put out of play into your scoring area. Your die which was used to capture is then re-rolled and put back into play.
Skill Attack – you use several of your dice to capture an opponent's die. The rolled numbers of your dice must exactly equal the number of the die you are capturing. The captured die is put out of play into your scoring area. Your dice which were used to capture are then re-rolled and put back into play.
The round ends when both players pass consecutively – this is usually, but not always, when one player has had all of his dice captured. At this point, the round is scored. All opponent's dice that you have captured are worth one point per side (i.e. a regular d6 is worth 6 points, a d20 is worth 20 points). In addition, any of your dice that are uncaptured at the end of the game are worth one-half point per side. The player with the most points wins. A match is won best two-out-of-three rounds. If you are playing with a character with a Swing Die (one that uses an X), you can change the size of the X die between rounds. It will be worth points equal to the size that you give it.
The game that I have explained above is Button Men at its simplest (i.e. the original rules), and since I first starting playing this game, I've been amazed by the depth of play that can come from just this small handful of dice.
First, there is the decision on which Button Man to play. There are plenty of Button Men available for play – many of which can be downloaded free from the Interwebs.
As you are playing the game, you are constantly having to make value decisions on your dice. You might want to make sure that you capture high value dice of your opponents – if so, you'll likely need to make a Skill attack when the opportunity presents itself. However, if you have rolled low numbers yourself, especially on a big die – say you have rolled a 3 on a d20, you might want to specifically try to use that die in any way to capture something so that you can re-roll it and protect the points that die would provide to your opponent. Early on in a round, there are usually multiple options for capture – and you'll have to weigh the risks and benefits of each as you go.
It's also worthwhile to pay attention to the dice your opponent will have available at the time of their next turn. If they have dice that add up exactly to one of yours for a skill attack, if you're unable to break up the attack with your capture, you might even go ahead and use that targeted die now and hope to re-roll a number which your opponent can't add up to!
The decision of die choice can be important. I used to have a favorite character whose dice were 4, 4, 4, 4, and 6. Anytime that this guy went up against a fighter with large dice, I usually felt like I had a good chance to win. If I could capture a d20 and anything else, or maybe 2 d12, I'd likely win as I had a maximum of 22 points to give up.
Right now, my son and I are playing a War Variant on the game. We printed up the Soldiers and Vampyres set from the free website, a total of 18 Button Men. We shuffled them up and gave 9 to each player. We each carry around our decks, and whenever the spirit moves us, we reveal the top Button Men from our deck, play a one-round game – and the winner collects both cards and places them on the bottom of their deck. The winner will be the first player to have all the Button Men. We'll often play four or five games in a row, and we've been see-sawing back and forth over the past few weeks. Definitely a lot of fun from such a simple game!
So, why am I writing about an 18 year old game now? For starters, it's a good game that I've actually never written a review about before, and it deserves to get more play. Additionally, now is the time for more people to learn about it. Cheapass Games has a Kickstarter Campaign to reprint the game – and it has already reached the funding level.
True to the original theme of Cheapass Games, it looks like the lowest level is just going give you the cards. You'll still be on your own to come up with dice! Right now, the fighters are going to come on cards, but it looks like actual buttons will also be an option in the future. I have no financial interest in this project or with Cheapass Games – but I do love the game!
If even the cost of printing up a few Button Men is too high – there is an even more Cheapass way to try the game: http://buttonweavers.com/ui/ where you can play it for free online.

No. 2 Aledo Bearcats pile up 591 total yards in 65-7 victory over Westlake (Calif.) Warriors
Aledo senior running back Michael Jordan (32) races through a huge hole during the first half of the Bearcats' 65-7 victory over the Westlake (Calif.) Warriors Friday night at Bearcat Stadium.
Tony Eierdam
Two years ago, Los Angeles Bishop Amat came to Aledo carrying the California flag and came away with a convincing 42-7 win over the stunned Bearcats.
"Bishop Amat knocked the snot out of us," senior Wes Harris, who was on the '14 team, said. "This year we weren't letting another California team come in here and do that."
Still feeling the sting from that game, Friday night the Bearcats erased it from their collective memory, holding up Aledo and Texas pride with a 65-7 victory at Bearcat Stadium over the Westlake Warriors from Westlake Village, Calif.
Bearcats head coach Steve Wood wasn't worried about two years ago, instead, he was fretting about how his Bearcats would react after a draining, emotional, close win last week over Colleyville Heritage.
But paced by 355 rushing yards – which included a game-high 174 yards from running back Michael Jordan and 105 yards on the ground by freshman 'back Jase McClellan – the Bearcats rolled up 591 total yards and moved to 2-0 for the year.
Senior quarterback Dillon Davis completed 14 of 20 passes for 236 yards and a pair of touchdown passes, with receiver Hunter Rosson leading the team with six catches for 59 yards. Receivers Preston Jefferis and Logan Bridges each caught three passes, with Bridges gaining 63 yards and Jefferis 61.
Aledo will conclude non-district play at 7:30 p.m. Friday against Mansfield Legacy at Newsome Stadium in Mansfield.
"I am proud of our kids. They came ready to play," Wood said. "I was a little worried about them, but to bounce back after an emotional win last week was good. We got better on defense, but we still have a long way to go.
"We haven't arrived yet, but the guys are working and we will keep coaching and we will get better. We were more physical than they were, and we put a lot of pressure on them and we covered them well.
"Our offense was also clicking, and our offensive line was the key. Now we will get ready for Mansfield Legacy."
Westlake head coach Tony Henney said he loved the atmosphere of Bearcat Stadium, and he came away with immense respect for the Bearcats.
"I was impressed with Aledo's execution," he said. "They controlled the game the way they want to play it; the way their coaches coach; and they don't make the same mistake twice. I was impressed how they immediately adjusted to things. They are impressive."
It was all Aledo in the first half.
Jeffrey Carter set the tone of the first half when he returned the opening kickoff 66 yards to the Westlake 24. Davis brought the ball close to the Westlake goal line when he completed a 14-yard pass the Hunter Rosson to the Warriors' 9.
On the next play, McClellan ran through a huge hole off left tackle untouched to the end zone to compete a nine-yard TD run. Quinn Davis booted the extra point to give the Bearcats a quick 7-0 lead.
After a Warriors punt, the Bearcats put together an 11-play, 53-yard drive that was closed by a four-yard touchdown blast up the middle by Jordan. Jordan was a workhorse on the drive, carrying seven times for 30 yards.
A pass on a fake kick on the PAT failed, and with 5:18 left in the first quarter the Bearcats led 13-0.
Aledo forced another punt on the Warriors' ensuing possession, and after a punt started a drive from their own 35. Davis scrambled for 13 yards on third and three to move the chains before connecting with receiver Logan Bridges for a 43-yard gain to the Westlake 1. Bridges had lined up in the slot to the right and beat a single defender on a slant route and appeared to have scored but officials marked the ball at the one.
Jordan closed the drive with a somersault over the goal line with five seconds remaining in the opening period. Davis added the extra point to increase the AHS advantage to 20-0.
"I was just trying to dive over the goal line," Jordan said. "But someone it me low and I did a flip over the goal line."
The Bearcats scored on four of five drives in the second quarter.
After another Warriors punt, Davis threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Carter, who had sprinted past his single defender as Davis hit the sophomore in stride for the touchdown. With 9:32 left in the half, Quinn Davis added the PAT to extend the hosts' advantage to 27-0.
Westlake lost a fumble on the ensuing kickoff to give the Bearcats excellent field position at the Warriors' 32. Davis threw to McClellan on first down for a nine-yard gain, and after an incomplete pass, McClellan rambled for 17 yards off left tackle to the Warriors' 6.
Two plays later, McClellan took a hand off and raced down the right side for a four-yard touchdown with 7:52 remaining in the half. Quinn Davis added the extra point as Aledo led 34-0.
On Westlake's next possession the Warriors moved the ball on four plays to the Bearcats' 35. But the next four plays netted five yards as the Warriors turned the ball over on downs.
Aledo found the end zone again when Davis engineered an 11-play, 70-yard drive that ended on a 30-yard TD pass from Davis to Preston Jefferis. On the TD play, Davis lofted a high spiral to the back of the left side of the end zone, but Jefferis elevated above two defenders to snare the aerial for the score.
Quinn Davis added the PAT for a 41-0 cushion.
An interception by Wyatt Harris set up the final Aledo score of the first half. Harris had advanced his pick off to the Westlake 15, and from there McClellan went to work.
The freshman carried for 11 yards on second down, and on first and goal from the four-yard line, he scampered untouched down the right side for an easy score. Quinn Davis added the PAT as the Bearcats went into the locker room at halftime with a comfortable 48-0 lead.
The Bearcats piled up 443 total yards in the first half, including 217 on the ground. Westlake finished the opening half with 71 total yards, including minus-13 rushing yards.
Westlake went three and out on the first possession of the second half.
On Aledo's initial possession of the third quarter, Davis and Jordan combined for all of the yards on a 69-yard drive with Davis completing a pair of passes to Rosson and Jordan rushing three times for 34 yards. But the drive stalled, and Quinn Davis salvaged three points with a 38-yard field goal to increase the AHS advantage to 51-0.
With 31 seconds left in the third quarter, Jordan electrified the Bearcat faithful when he outraced three defenders down the right sideline for a 57-yard touchdown. The defenders looked to have Jordan cornered, but he turned on the jets and sprinted around the corner, seemingly hitting another gear at the 20 past the startled Warriors secondary.
Quinn Davis added the PAT to extend the Bearcats' lead to 58-0.
An interception by Rylan Campbell set up the final AHS score. McClellan rushed for 31 yards on the first five plays, and after new quarterback Zane Hayden rushed for two yards, McClellan's number was called again and he scored untouched from three yards out for a 65-0 lead.
Westlake finally got on the board late in the fourth quarter when new quarterback Brendan Udolph fired a nine-yard touchdown pass to receiver Nolan Brooks. Josh Garelik booted the extra point to close the scoring.
Aledo had two running backs gain more than 100 yards Friday night in a 65-7 win over Westlake (Calif.). Shown is freshman running back Jase McClellan(9), who gained 105 yards on 18 carries. The win moves the 'Cats to 2-0.

Hikers Rejoice: Several Parks, Trails Closed For Months By Woolsey Fire Reopen
Filed Under:Woolsey Fire
MALIBU (CBSLA) – Several local parks and trails managed by a local government agency which were closed by the devastating Woolsey Fire in the Malibu and Calabasas areas have reopened.
The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) announced Friday that it has reopened several parks after soil tests determined that the Woolsey Fire did not increase radioactivity levels in the soil.
"Radiological analysis of soils in Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve and other MRCA areas which determined that the fire had not increased the low-level concentrations of radionuclides that are generally consistent with normal background levels," MRCA said in a news release.
The following parks have reopened:
Cameron Nature Preserve at Puerco Canyon
Corral Canyon Park – Sara Wan Trailhead
Fran Pavley Meadow
Las Virgenes View Trail
Liberty Canyon Trailhead
Seminole Overlook
Triunfo Creek Park
Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve
Zev Yaroslavsky Las Virgenes Highlands Park
However, Escondido Canyon Park and Charmlee Wilderness Park will remain closed due to hazardous conditions.

On Nov. 8, the 97,000-acre Woolsey Fire broke out south of Simi Valley. It then jumped the south side of the 101 Freeway near Calabasas and spread into Malibu. The fire destroyed more than 1,500 structures and was responsible for three deaths. It was not fully contained until Nov. 21.
According to the National Parks Service, the Woolsey Fire burned a staggering 88 percent (21,000 acres) of its land in the Santa Monica Mountains. Paramount Ranch, Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa, Cheeseboro Canyon and Palo Comado Canyon are the only NPS areas that have since reopened since the fire. Meanwhile, the Santa Monica Mountains Visitor Center is also closed due to the government shutdown.
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted that he had ordered the Federal Emergency Management Agency to stop sending wildfire relief money to California over a dispute regarding how the state is managing its forests to mitigate wildfire risk.
Malibu homeowners have faced a slow and complicated rebuilding process. The Woolsey Fire destroyed nearly 500 homes, and as of Thursday, only about 15 rebuild applications have been approved.
The MCRA manages about 75,000 acres of parkland in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, including those belonging to Santa Monica Conservancy. Earlier this month, a businessman donated 226 acres of parkland to the MCRA which serves as a passage for wildlife across the 5 Freeway near the Santa Clarita Valley.


Girl seemed nice enough behind the bar, Felt for the landlord here, average age was about 19. He had to have 3 heavys on the door due to the councils restrictions. Alright if your into fosters and alcopops. They did have an ale on, we didn' t stay though, not an outsiders pub. Despite the band being ok, nobody was really listening, shame.

Close Calls With Brick Walls shows Andrew WK stepping down from the wall of sound approach of I Get Wet and The Wolf entirely. Instead, he allows for his creative spirit to run wild and takes his sound in a direction that no one could have predicted.
The throaty shouts are just a memory at this point as more conventional singing techniques have taken the helm, but perhaps the biggest change of all is the lack of adrenaline pumping guitars that were a staple of his sound up to this point. While the guitars still have an important role on Close Calls With Brick Walls, equal focus has also been put on writing more memorable moments for the bass, piano and drums that let them share the spotlight.
Calls With Brick Walls should solidify the artistic integrity of Andrew WK and dispel any notions of him as a gimmick act. The new direction will also probably alienate some hardcore fans who were expecting him to follow up in a similar fashion as before, but Close Calls With Brick Walls will reach out to new listeners and long-time fans alike. Andrew WK's new sound is unique and just as engaging as his previous efforts but in an entirely different way.

Now that you used your lead magnets so they sign up for your mailing list and people have moved another step with your tripwire, it's about time we talk about your core offer. Prepping your core offer is important because not only does the core offer become your main product that you would need the best of your time and resources to work with, it also becomes the defining reason why you would have a business in the first place. This does not have to be the most expensive part of your deal, but it has to have the best value and building it requires careful considerations.
If you are providing a core offer, what you want is something that is similar to being a philosophy instead of simply being a material object. Since this is the central reason of your business even existing, it needs to be a religious experience. It needs to be an immersion of your audience to your world and that your business revolves around making sure people see the benefits to taking in your core offer.
You have funneled your audience through different things in your entire sales funnel. You've teased them with your lead magnet, you gave them a quick taste of your market with your tripwire and now that you are at this point, excitement is ripe enough to get your audience ready to get as much as what you can offer. This is perfect! Provide your prime deal that has value above and beyond anything that you have shown so far. Leading people to an infinitely valuable proposition is empowering.
If you are creating something that will be central to the growth of your business and your profits, your prime offerings need to be resalable. It should not be some sort of a one time, big time deal and it needs to be consistent – none of that remaking and re-engineering. It needs to be the heart and soul of your business, so you need to make sure that your audience can expect a similar product time and time again.
When you talk about core, it needs to be the central and most important thing in your entire fleet of offerings. It means it needs to be the most inclusive, highest value and it can, by itself, be sold without anything else and still be a functional product or service to anyone who buys. The core offer's worth should be beyond a shadow of a doubt the best both in your eyes and their eyes.
If you think what you provide is does not fulfill all of these requirements, it's best that you try to rehash it into something that adds a ton of value. The last thing that you want is for people to willingly go through your sales funnel, only to be underwhelmed by a weak offering. Bundle stuff if you have to, but until you think that your core offer is your ultimate defining proposition, then rework it into something else. This is your ace in the hole. Make it count.

Main conclusion
Five laccase genes are potentially involved in developmental lignification in the model C4 grass Setaria viridis and their different tissue specificities suggest subfunctionalization events.
Plant laccases are copper-containing glycoproteins involved in monolignol oxidation and, therefore, their activity is essential for lignin polymerization. Although these enzymes belong to large multigene families with highly redundant members, not all of them are thought to be involved in lignin metabolism. Here, we report on the genome-wide characterization of the laccase gene family in the model C4 grass Setaria viridis and further identification of the members potentially involved in monolignol oxidation. A total of 52 genes encoding laccases (SvLAC1 to SvLAC52) were found in the genome of S. viridis, and phylogenetic analyses showed that these genes were heterogeneously distributed among the characteristic six subclades of the family and are under relaxed selective constraints. The observed expansion in the total number of genes in this species was mainly caused by tandem duplications within subclade V, which accounts for 68% of the whole family. Comparative phylogenetic analyses showed that the expansion of subclade V is specifically observed for the Paniceae tribe within the Panicoideae subfamily in grasses. Five SvLAC genes (SvLAC9, SvLAC13, SvLAC15, SvLAC50, and SvLAC52) fulfilled the criteria established to identify lignin-related candidates: (1) phylogenetic proximity to previously characterized lignin-related laccases from other species, (2) similar expression pattern to that observed for lignin biosynthetic genes in the S. viridis elongating internode, and (3) high expression in S. viridis tissues undergoing active lignification. In addition, in situ hybridization experiments not only confirmed that these selected SvLAC genes were expressed in lignifying cells, but also that their expression showed different tissue specificities, suggesting subfunctionalization events within the family. These five laccase genes are strong candidates to be involved in lignin polymerization in S. viridis and might be good targets for lignin bioengineering strategies.
