MeSH headings : CRISPR-Cas Systems / genetics; Carboxylesterase; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Lignin / metabolism; Plants, Genetically Modified / genetics; Plants, Genetically Modified / metabolism; Populus / genetics; Populus / metabolism
TL;DR: The results suggest an alternative path within the phenylpropanoid pathway at the level of the hydroxycinnamoyl‐shikimates, and show that CSE is a promising target to improve plants for the biorefinery. (via Semantic Scholar)
