Towards oilcane: Engineering hyperaccumulation of triacylglycerol into sugarcane stems

Abstract Metabolic engineering to divert carbon flux from sucrose to oil in high biomass crop like sugarcane is an emerging strategy to boost lipid yields per hectare for biodiesel production. Sugarcane stems comprise more than 70% of the crops' biomass and can accumulate sucrose in excess of 2...
