Inhibition of Snl6 expression for biofuel production

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1433340

The invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting the expression of the gene Snl6 in plants. Plants with inhibited expression of Snl6 have use in biofuel production, e.g., by increasing the amount of soluble sugar that can be extracted from the plant.
