The MYB96 Transcription Factor Regulates Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis under Drought Conditions in Arabidopsis[W] (2011, background): “…noteworthy that endogenous contents of alkanes, a major constituent of gasoline and diesel, were increased >8-fold in the myb96-1D mutant, suggesting that our findings would be applicable to engineering of alkane mass production in terrestrial plants (Jetter and Kunst, 2008; Schirmer et al., 2010).”
Metabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for production of fatty acid ethyl esters, an advanced biofuel, by eliminating non-essential fatty acid utilization pathways (2014, background): “Microbial production of FA derived chemicals or fuels is currently of great interest [1–11].”
