A functional cascading of lignin modification via repression of caffeic acid O-methyltransferase for bioproduction and anti-oxidation in rice.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Crop straws provide substantial biomass resources that are transformable for sustainable biofuels and valuable bioproducts. However, the natural lignocellulose recalcitrance results in an expensive biomass process and secondary waste liberation. As lignin is a major recalcitrant factor, genetic engineering of lignin biosynthesis is increasingly being implemented in bioenergy crops, but much remains unclear about the desired lignocellulose alteration and resulting function.

Objectives

This study attempted to explore the mechanisms of lignin modification responsible for efficient lignocellulose conversion in vitro and an effective plant anti-oxidation response in vivo.

Methods

We initially selected specific rice mutants by performing modern CRISPR/cas9 edit
