    Genetic Engineering of Lignin Biosynthesis in Poplar

    The removal of lignin in paper manufacture is a toxic and energy-requiring process. For the paper industry and for the environment, it would be very beneficial to process trees with less lignin or with lignin ...

    Higher Extractability of Lignin in Poplar (Populus Tremula x P. Alba) by Reducing Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase Activity

    Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) catalyses the last step in the biosynthesis of the lignin precursors, which is the conversion of cinnamaldehydes into cinnamyl alcohols. A poplar (P. trichocarpa x P. deltoide...
