Title: Method of reducing acetylation in plants to improve biofuel production

Abstract

The invention provides methods for engineering plants to have reduced levels of acetylation by decreasing expression of one or more Cas1L genes. Such plants can be used, e.g., to increase yield for biofuel production.
