Transgenic plants for enhanced biofuel production

Biotechnology for Biofuels is pleased to present a special thematic series focusing on the development of crops for enhanced fuel production. The series covers genetic improvement of plant biomass traits for downstream processing and bio-production. We will continue to add new publications to this Special Issue as they become ready to publish.

Research   Open Access

Engineering of plants with improved properties as biofuels feedstocks by vessel-specific complementation of xylan biosynthesis mutants

Pia Damm Petersen, Jane Lau, Berit Ebert, Fan Yang, Yves Verhertbruggen, Jin Sun Kim, Patanjali Varanasi, Anongpat Suttangkakul, Manfred Auer, Dominique Loqué, Henrik Vibe Scheller Biotechnology for Biofuels 2012, 5:84 (26 November 2012)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed |  Editor’s summary

The irregular xylem (irx) mutation in Arabidopsis collapses the stem, causing dwarfism, and can be rescued by cell-specific control of xylan expression to create viable plants with enhanced traits for biofuel production.
