A gene-editing/complementation strategy for tissue-specific lignin reduction while preserving biomass yield
Abstract Background Lignification of secondary cell walls is a major factor conferring recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass to deconstruction for fuels and chemicals. Genetic modification can reduce lignin content and enhance saccharification efficiency, but usually at the cost of moderate-to-se...
