Journal ArticleDOI
Disrupting Flavone Synthase II Alters Lignin and Improves Biomass Digestibility.
Pui Ying Lam,Yuki Tobimatsu,Yuri Takeda,Shiro Suzuki,Masaomi Yamamura,Toshiaki Umezawa,Clive Lo +6 more
TL;DR: The tricin-deficient fnsII mutant was analyzed further and revealed to have enhanced enzymatic saccharification efficiency, suggesting that the cell wall recalcitrance of grass biomass may be reduced through the manipulation of the flavonoid monomer supply for lignification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of CONIFERALDEHYDE 5-HYDROXYLASE expression to modulate cell wall lignin structure in rice
Yuri Takeda,Taichi Koshiba,Yuki Tobimatsu,Shiro Suzuki,Shinya Murakami,Masaomi Yamamura,Md. Mahabubur Rahman,Toshiyuki Takano,Takefumi Hattori,Takefumi Hattori,Masahiro Sakamoto,Toshiaki Umezawa +11 more
TL;DR: Manipulation of a gene encoding coniferaldehyde 5-hydroxylase leads to substantial alterations in lignin structure in rice cell walls, identifying a promising genetic engineering target for improving grass biomass utilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative analysis of lignin chemical structures of sugarcane bagasse pretreated by alkaline, hydrothermal, and dilute sulfuric acid methods.
Takuji Miyamoto,Asako Mihashi,Masaomi Yamamura,Yuki Tobimatsu,Shiro Suzuki,Rie Takada,Yoshinori Kobayashi,Toshiaki Umezawa +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the lignocellulose properties of sugarcane bagasse with a view to its application to produce fermentable sugars were comparatively analyzed before and after alkaline, hydrothermal, and dilute sulfuric acid pretreatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Downregulation of p-COUMAROYL ESTER 3-HYDROXYLASE in rice leads to altered cell wall structures and improves biomass saccharification.
Yuri Takeda,Yuki Tobimatsu,Steven D. Karlen,Steven D. Karlen,Taichi Koshiba,Shiro Suzuki,Masaomi Yamamura,Shinya Murakami,Mai Mukai,Takefumi Hattori,Keishi Osakabe,John Ralph,John Ralph,Masahiro Sakamoto,Toshiaki Umezawa +14 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that C3'H expression is an important determinant not only of lignin content and composition but also of the degree of cell wall cross-linking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microscale thioacidolysis method for the rapid analysis of β-O-4 substructures in lignin
TL;DR: This microscale protocol showed higher yields of thioacidolysis products than the conventional protocol and was a bottleneck in the characterization of lignins in a large number of samples such as transgenic lines.
