Method for genetically modifying a plant to increase production of a biosynthetic product in a desired Fabric and Method for genetically modifying a plant that has deposition of lignin is substantially located in the vessels of the Xylem tissue of Plant
The invention provides methods of engineering plants having lignin deposition or xylan deposition that is substantially localized to the vessels of xylem tissue in the plant. The invention also provides methods of engineering plants to increase production of a desired biosynthetic product, e.g., to have increased secondary cell wall deposition or increased wax/cutin accumulation. The engineered plants of the present invention have use in bioenergy production, e.g., by improving the density and the digestibility of biomass derived from the plant and to improve water usage requirements.MÉTODO PARA MODIFICAR GENÉTICAMENTE UNA PLANTA PARA INCREMENTAR LA PRODUCCIÓN DE UN PRODUCTO BIOSINTÉTICO EN UN TEJIDO DESEADO, CÉLULA DE PLANTA, PROCEDIMIENTO PARA OBTENER UNA CANTIDAD INCREMENTADA DE AZÚCARES DESDE PLANTAS, Y MÉTODO PARA INCREMENTAR LA PRODUCCIÓN DE BIOENERGÍA DE BIOMASA DERIVADA DE UNA PLANTA.
