Journal ArticleDOI
RNAi suppression of lignin biosynthesis in sugarcane reduces recalcitrance for biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a moderate reduction in lignin can reduce the recalcitrance of sugarcane biomass without compromising plant performance under controlled environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic engineering of sugarcane to accumulate energy-dense triacylglycerols in vegetative biomass
Janice Zale,Je Hyeong Jung,Jae Yoon Kim,Bhuvan Pathak,Ratna Karan,Hui Liu,Xiuhua Chen,Hao Wu,Jason Candreva,Zhiyang Zhai,John Shanklin,Fredy Altpeter +11 more
TL;DR: These results provide the basis for optimizations of TAG accumulation in sugarcane and other high yielding biomass grasses and will open new prospects for biofuel applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
TALEN mediated targeted mutagenesis of the caffeic acid O-methyltransferase in highly polyploid sugarcane improves cell wall composition for production of bioethanol
TL;DR: The findings demonstrate that targeted mutagenesis can improve cell wall characteristics for production of lignocellulosic ethanol in crops with highly complex genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
RNA interference suppression of lignin biosynthesis increases fermentable sugar yields for biofuel production from field-grown sugarcane.
Je Hyeong Jung,Wilfred Vermerris,Maria Gallo,Jeffrey R. Fedenko,John E. Erickson,Fredy Altpeter +5 more
TL;DR: Reducing the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass to saccharification by modifying lignin biosynthesis is expected to greatly benefit the economic competitiveness of sugarcane as a biofuel feedstock.
Journal ArticleDOI
TALEN-mediated targeted mutagenesis of more than 100 COMT copies/alleles in highly polyploid sugarcane improves saccharification efficiency without compromising biomass yield.
TL;DR: These findings confirm the feasibility of co‐mutagenesis of a very large number of target alleles/copies for improvement in crops with complex genomes.
