Abstract:
The present invention relates to transgenic plants for producing cellulose by a mechanism of autohydrolysis and a method producing soluble sugars using them, more particularly to transgenic plants transformed with recombinant cDNA coding cellulase, cellulose binding domain and chloroplast targeting peptide and a method producing soluble sugars using them. Transgenic plants and a method producing soluble sugars using them would be a highly cost-effective system for the production of soluble sugars on a large scale.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a recombinant cDNA encoding a fusion protein comprising chloroplast-targeting peptide, full length cellulase and cellulose binding domain sequentially, wherein the cellulase is cellulase5 originated from Ruminococcus albus, and the cellulose binding domain is originated from Xylanase A of Clostridium stercorarium. The cDNA can be used to produce plants expressing cellulase for autohydrolysis. Methods for the production of soluble sugars comprising the induction of autohydrolysis of the cellulose are also disclosed.
