Multi-site genetic modification of monolignol biosynthesis in alfalfa (Medicago sativa): effects on lignin composition in specific cell types.

The New phytologist - 1 Jan 2008

Nakashima Jin, Chen Fang, Jackson Lisa, Shadle Gail, Dixon Richard A

Abstract excerpt

* Independent antisense down-regulation of 10 individual enzymes in the monolignol pathway has generated a series of otherwise isogenic alfalfa (Medicago sativa) lines with varying lignin content and composition. These plants show various visible growth phenotypes, and possess significant differences in vascular cell size and number. * To better understand the phenotypic consequences of lignin modification, the...
