CRISPR-Knockout of <i>CSE</i> Gene Improves Saccharification Efficiency by Reducing Lignin Content in Hybrid Poplar

Caffeoyl shikimate esterase (CSE) has been shown to play an important role in lignin biosynthesis in plants and is, therefore, a promising target for generating improved lignocellulosic biomass crops for sustainable biofuel production. <i>Populus</i> spp. has two <i>CSE</i> g...
