Abstract:
Se divulgan genes modificados que producen en las plantas ligninas con propiedades alteradas. se proporcionan vectores útiles y células de plantas, plantas progenie y madera producida con las plantas de la invención. Los menores niveles de lignina obtenidos resultan en una sacarificación mejorada para la biorefinación y la producción de etanol, y en pulpas y papel mejorados. Los niveles de lignina aumentados son útiles para la producción de energía. Los genes y las construcciones de ADN pueden ser usados para la identificación de plantas con características de lignina alteradas, y son útiles en cultivos asistidos con marcadores.
