Patent number: 11807875Abstract: The invention relates to feruloyl-CoA:monolignol transferase enzymes and nucleic acids encoding the feruloyl-CoA:monolignol transferase enzymes. The enzymes and/or the nucleic acids enable incorporation of monolignol ferulates into the lignin of plants. The monolignol ferulates include, for example, p-coumaryl ferulate, coniferyl ferulate, and/or sinapyl ferulate.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research FoundationInventors: John Ralph, Steven D.
