Metabolic engineering of novel lignin in biomass crops.
Lignin, a phenolic polymer in the secondary wall, is the major cause of lignocellulosic biomass recalcitrance to efficient industrial processing. From an applications perspective, it is desirable that second-generation bioenergy crops have lignin that is readily degraded by chemical pretreatments but still fulfill its biological role in plants. Because plants can tolerate large variations in li...

* Author for correspondence: Apekshita Singh, Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University, Sector-125, Noida-201303 (UP), India. Email: [email protected]. Abstract. Metabolic engineering, which depends upon metabolite profiling and analysis, holds great potential, in combination with genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, in facilitating the development of newly emerging technologies s...
متن کاملLignin engineering.
Lignins are aromatic polymers that are present mainly in secondarily thickened plant cell walls. Several decades of research have elucidated the main biosynthetic routes toward the monolignols and demonstrated that lignin amounts can be engineered and that plants can cope with large shifts in p-hydroxyphenyl/guaiacyl/syringyl (H/G/S) lignin compositional ratios. It has also become clear that li...
متن کاملComputational metabolic engineering of Arabidopsis thaliana for increased biomass production
We have developed a computational method for determining the maximum theoretical production capability of a metabolic network and for identifying corresponding metabolic engineering strategies. The method relies on generating feasible chemical reactions and predicting the effect of their insertion into a host metabolic network. A chemical reaction which optimizes a given objective, such as grow...
متن کاملValorization of Agroforest Crops for Biomass Utilization
There is a growing need to consider alternative agricultural strategies that move an agricultural industry focused on food production to one that also supplies the needs of other industrial sectors, such as paper, textiles, biofuels or added-value chemicals, in the context of the so-called lignocellulose biorefinery. Biorefineries use renewable raw materials to produce energy together with a wi...
