additional information | construction of genetically modified poplars, that are downregulated for cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR). 20 month-old trees transgenic trees with downregulated CCR enzymes show up to 161% increased ethanol yield from tissues including bark, generated from the lignocellulosic biomass, strong downregulation of CCR also affects biomass yield. Wood samples derived from the transgenic trees are more easily processed into ethanol than wild-type | Populus tremula x Populus alba |

malfunction | 20 month-old trees transgenic trees with downregulated CCR enzymes show up to 161% increased ethanol yield from tissues including bark, generated from the lignocellulosic biomass, strong downregulation of CCR also affects biomass yield. Wood samples derived from the transgenic trees are more easily processed into ethanol than wild-type. The improved saccharification yield is due to a higher cellulose conversion and correlates with the abundance of ferulic acid markers | Populus tremula x Populus alba |
metabolism | enzyme cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR) catalyzes the first step in the monolignol-specific branch of the lignin biosynthetic pathway | Populus tremula x Populus alba |
