Increased drought tolerance in plants engineered for low lignin and low xylan content

Increased drought tolerance in plants engineered for low lignin and low xylan content

Abstract Background We previously developed several strategies to engineer plants to produce cost-efficient biofuels from plant biomass. Engineered Arabidopsis plants with low xylan and lignin content showed normal growth and improved saccharification efficiency under standard growth conditions. How...
