Lignans are phenylpropanoid dimers, where the phenylpropane units are linked by the central carbon (C8) of their side chains. Ligans vary substantially in oxidation level, substitution pattern, and the chemical structure of their basic carbon framework. In addition to structural diversity, lignans show considerable diversity in terms of enantiomeric composition, biosynthesis, and phylogenetic distribution. In this review, these diversities are outlined and the phylogenetic distribution of plants producing 66 typical lignans is listed. The distribution is correlated with the putative biosynthetic pathways of the lignans and discussed from evolutionary aspects.Abbreviations:SIRD – Secoisolariciresinol dehydrogenase; PLR – pinoresinol lariciresinol reductase; DP – dirigent protein
