Journal ArticleDOI

Sugar release and growth of biofuel crops are improved by downregulation of pectin biosynthesis

TL;DR: Downregulation of GAUT4 reduces HG and rhamnogalacturonan II (RGII), reduces wall calcium and boron, and increases extractability of cell wall sugars, which improves biomass yields and sugar release from biomass processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Light intensity-dependent modulation of chlorophyll b biosynthesis and photosynthesis by overexpression of chlorophyllide a oxygenase in tobacco.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that controlled up-regulation of chlorophyll b biosynthesis comodulates the expression of several thylakoid membrane proteins that increase both the antenna size and the electron transport rates and enhance carbon dioxide assimilation, starch content, and dry matter accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aspen pectate lyase PtxtPL1-27 mobilizes matrix polysaccharides from woody tissues and improves saccharification yield.

TL;DR: It is shown that aspen pectate lyase PL1-27, which degrades homogalacturonan and is expressed at the onset of secondary wall formation, can increase the solubility of wood matrix polysaccharides and the modification of pectins may constitute an important biotechnological target for improved wood processing despite their low abundance in woody biomass.
