Genetic manipulation of lignin reduces recalcitrance and improves ethanol production from switchgrass (2011, background): “Because lignocellulosic biomass is made up of the complex structures of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, such feedstock is highly recalcitrant to bioconversion of its carbohydrates into ethanol compared with starch (2, 3).”
Brown midrib mutations and their importance to the utilization of maize, sorghum, and pearl millet lignocellulosic tissues (2010, background): “In maize, there is one opportunity to directly compare a brown midrib mutant, bm3 to COMT antisense lines; COMT enzymatic activity was less severely impaired in the two antisense lines compared to bm3, which led to less severe reduction in S-lignin content [98].”
