Increase in cellulose accumulation and improvement of saccharification by overexpression of arabinofuranosidase in rice.

Increase in cellulose accumulation and improvement of saccharification by overexpression of arabinofuranosidase in rice.

Cellulosic biomass is available for the production of biofuel, with saccharification of the cell wall being a key process. We investigated whether alteration of arabinoxylan, a major hemicellulose in monocots, causes an increase in saccharification efficiency. Arabinoxylans have β-1,4-D-xylopyranosy...
