'Redesigned' plants to improve biofuel production

Washington: Opening up opportunities to “redesign plants” for efficient biofuel production, researchers have identified the gene regulatory network that controls the formation of xylem — the major component of wood. The gene networks that the researchers uncovered control cell wall thickening by the synthesis of the three polymers: cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The three key […]
