Title: Key gene regulating cell wall biosynthesis and recalcitrance in Populus, gene Y

Abstract

This disclosure provides methods and transgenic plants for improved production of renewable biofuels and other plant-derived biomaterials by altering the expression and/or activity of Gene Y, an O-acetyltransferase. This disclosure also provides expression vectors containing a nucleic acid (Gene Y) which encodes the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 1 and is operably linked to a heterologous promoter.

PtDUF266 gene regulating cell wall biosynthesis and recalcitrance in populus

Patent Chen, Jin -Gui; Jawdy, Sara; Yang, Xiaohan; ...

This disclosure provides genetically modified plants having desirable levels of sugar release, cellulose content and reduction of recalcitrance; methods of genetically modifying plants to modulate sugar release, cellulose and lignin contents; and uses of such plants. The inventors have determined that genetic modification of PdDUF266A from Populus, encoded by locus Potri.011G009500 resulted in transgenic Populus trees with changes in lignin and cellulose content as well as altered sugar release phenotypes. Plants with altered sugar release, cellulose and lignin content, based on modulation of the expression or activity of the PdDUF266A gene, have diverse uses including pulp and paper production, andmore » biofuel and bioproducts production. « less

Key gene regulating plant cell wall recalcitrance

Patent Chen, Jay; Gunter, Lee E.; Jawdy, Sara; ...

This disclosure provides plants having desirable levels of lignin synthesis, sugar release, S/G ratio, and resistance to stress and pathogens; methods of selecting plants with such desirable levels of lignin synthesis, sugar release, S/G ratio, and resistance to stress and pathogens; methods of genetically modifying plants to modulate lignin synthesis, sugar release, S/G ratio, and resistance to stress and pathogens; and uses of such plants. The inventors have determined that the expression and/or activity of POPTR_0014s08530, a gene encoding an Angustifolia/CtBP transcription factor, modulates lignin synthesis, sugar release, S/G ratio, and resistance to stress and pathogens in plants.

Modulating laccase enzyme to regulate cell wall biosynthesis and recalcitrance in plants

Patent Chen, Jin-Gui; Gunter, Lee E.; Jawdy, Sara S.; ...

This disclosure provides genetically modified plants having desirable levels of sugar release and syringyl/guaiacyl (S/G) ratio; methods of genetically modifying plants to modulate sugar release and S/G ratio; and uses of such plants. The inventors have determined that genetic modification of a laccase gene (LAC2) from Populus, encoded by locus Potri.008G064000 resulted in transgenic Populus trees with changes in syringyl/guaiacyl ratios as well as altered sugar release phenotypes. Plants with altered sugar release, and S/G ratio, based on modulation of the expression or activity of the LAC2 gene, have divergent uses including pulp and paper production, and biofuel and bioproductsmore » production. « less

Method of regulating gene expression in a cell

Patent Debnath, Anik; Juarez, Javier Fernandez; Lee, Henry Hung-yi; ...

The disclosure provides methods of making a tetracycline inducible expression system in a cell. The methods include providing the cell with a first nucleic acid sequence comprising a first promoter operably linked to a tetracycline repressor gene coding sequence, providing the cell with a second nucleic acid sequence comprising a second promoter operably linked to a coding sequence of a gene of interest wherein the second promoter is modified to include one or more tetracycline repressor protein binding sites, and determining the expression of the gene of interest in the presence or absence of tetracycline.

Gene impacting biomass formation and recalcitrance and methods of use

Patent Tuskan, Gerald A.; Kalluri, Udaya C.

The invention provides plants having improved biomass properties of increased biomass quantity and density, increased cellulose content and deceased lignin content and improved sugar release efficiency, methods of generating (genetically modifying) and/or selecting (natural variant collections) plants with such preferred attributes of cellulose, lignin and sugar release, and uses of such plants. The inventors have determined that the expression of the gene, Potri.001G375700 (belonging to IQD signaling protein family containing a canonical calmodulin-binding domain) and/or activity of Potri.001G375700, modulates cellulose, lignin synthesis, sugar release and growth in plants.
