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
β-Alanine Betaine Synthesis in the Plumbaginaceae. Purification and Characterization of a Trifunctional, S -Adenosyl-l-Methionine-Dependent N -Methyltransferase from Limonium latifolium Leaves
TL;DR: Gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analyses indicated that the native NMTase is a dimer of 43-kD subunits, and was reversibly inhibited by the thiol reagent p-hydroxymercuribenzoic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of hyperthermostable GH10 xylanase Xyl10B from Thermotoga maritima in transplastomic plants enables complete hydrolysis of methylglucuronoxylan to fermentable sugars for biofuel production.
TL;DR: Efficient production of the GH10 xylanase Xyl10B from Thermotoga maritima in transplastomic plants is described and exceptional stability and catalytic activities of the in planta produced enzyme are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of bacterial L-aspartate-α-decarboxylase in tobacco increases β-alanine and pantothenate levels and improves thermotolerance
TL;DR: The results indicated that E. colil-aspartate-α-decarboxylase was correctly processed and active in the transgenic eukaryotic host and its expression resulted in increased thermotolerance in tobacco.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid production of transgenic sugarcane with the introduction of simple loci following biolistic transfer of a minimal expression cassette and direct embryogenesis
TL;DR: A protocol is described that supports the production of transgenic sugarcane plants ready for transfer to soil within 3 mo from culture initiation and NPTII-ELISA confirmed that most of the transgenic plants expressed the transgene stably in vegetative progeny.
