Identification and biochemical characterization of four wood-associated glucuronoxylan methyltransferases in Populus.

Wood is one of the promising bioenergy feedstocks for lignocellulosic biofuel production. Understanding how wood components are synthesized will help us design strategies for better utilization of wood for biofuel production. One of the major wood components is xylan, in which about 10% of xylosyl r...
