Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenic switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) targeted for reduced recalcitrance to bioconversion: a 2-year comparative analysis of field-grown lines modified for target gene or genetic element expression.

Nelson,Debra Mohnen,Debra Mohnen,Jonathan R. Mielenz,Steven D. Brown,Brian H. Davison +29 more
TL;DR: Progress towards generating next‐generation bio‐feedstocks with improved properties for microbial and enzymatic deconstruction is summarized, while providing a comprehensive quantitative analysis for the bioconversion of multiple plant lines in five transgenic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative compositional analysis of walls with two different morphologies: archetypical versus transfer-cell-like
TL;DR: It is suggested that major changes in time- or place-dependent deposition and/or subtle changes in arrangement of rare wall constituents may be responsible for profound changes in wall morphology that can be brought about in the absence of grossChanges in wall composition.
Book ChapterDOI
Glycosyltransferases of the GT8 Family
TL;DR: A detailed phylogenetic study of GT8 proteins from three monocot and four dicot plant genomes clearly divides higher plantGT8 proteins into two distantly related sets of clades, many of which are further divided into statistically well - supported subclades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Analysis of Cellulose Synthase CesA4 and CesA6 Genes in Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) by Overexpression and RNAi-Mediated Gene Silencing

TL;DR: Results show that the manipulation of the cellulose synthase genes alters the cell wall composition and availability of cellulose as a bioprocessing substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
