lignification reduction in plants abstract of the disclosure the present invention provides an expression cassette containing a polynucleotide coding sequence for a hydroxycinnamoyl-coa hydratase-lyase (hchl), which is operably linked to a heterologous promoter. Also provided are methods of engineering plants that have reduced lignification, as well as cells, plant parts, and plant tissues from such engineered plants. abstract of patent summary: "reduction of lignification in plants". The present invention provides an expression cassette containing a polynucleotide coding sequence for a hydroxycinnamoyl coa hydratase lyase (hchl), which is operably linked to a heterologous promoter. Plant design methods that have reduced lignification are also provided, as well as cells, plant parts, and plant tissues of such planned plants. 1lignification reduction in plants abstract of the disclosure the present invention provides an expression cassette containing a polynucleotide coding sequence for a hydroxycinnamoyl-coa hydratase-lyase (hchl), which is operably linked to a heterologous promoter. also provided are methods of engineering plants that have reduced lignification, as well as cells, plant parts, and plant tissues from such engineered plants. tradução do resumo resumo patente de invenção: "redução da lignificação nas plantas". a presente invenção fornece um cassete de expressão contendo uma seqüência de codificação de polinucleotídeo para uma hidroxicinamoil-coa hidratase-liase (hchl), que é operativamente ligado a um promotor heterólogo. também são fornecidos métodos de planejamento de plantas que possuem lignificação reduzida, assim como células, partes de planta, e tecidos vegetais de tais plantas planejadas. 1
