Developmental Control of Lignification in Stems of Lowland Switchgrass Variety Alamo and the Effects on Saccharification Efficiency (2009, background): “Down-regulation of CCR in poplar and alfalfa has resulted in 50% and 32% reductions in lignin content, respectively [30, 31].”
Lignin content in natural Populus variants affects sugar release (2011, background): “Although some found no clear trend (8, 12), Li et al.”
Downregulation of Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase (CAD) Leads to Improved Saccharification Efficiency in Switchgrass (2011, methodology): “Cell wall residues generated for lignin analysis were also used to analyze total sugar and sugar components released by enzymatic hydrolysis according to previously described procedures [16].”
Potential of Plants from the Genus Agave as Bioenergy Crops (2012, background): “manipulating cell wall polymers [6, 16, 22], or enhancing specific valuable by-product levels.”
