(Submitter supplied) Cellulose from plant biomass is the largest renewable energy resource of carbon fixed from the atmosphere, which can be converted into fermentable sugars for production into ethanol. However, the cellulose present as lignocellulosic biomass is embedded in a hemicellulose and lignin matrix from which it needs to be extracted for efficient processing. Here, we show that expression of an Arabidopsis transcription factor SHINE (SHN) in rice, a model for the grasses, causes a 34% increase in cellulose and a 45% reduction in lignin content.

(Submitter supplied) The custom CDF was built by uniquely mapping 442,810 probe sequences to 35,161 rice gene-based probe sets in the following manner: (i) probes that have perfect sequence identity with a single target gene were selected, (ii) probes mapping to reverse complements of genes were annotated separately as antisense probes (not used in the above counts), and finally, (iii) probes were grouped into probe sets, each corresponding to a single gene, and probe sets having at least 3 unique sequences were retained (>98% probe sets have >=5 probes). more...
