  • Modulation of expression of acyltransferases to modify hydroxycinnamic acid content
    Patent number: 11193133
    Abstract: The invention provides methods of engineering plants to modulate hydroxycinnamic acid content. The invention additionally provides compositions and methods comprising such plants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2019
    Date of Patent: December 7, 2021
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Laura E. Bartley, Pamela Ronald, Henrik Vibe Scheller
  • PLANTS WITH ALTERED PRODUCTION OF BIOMASS CONSTITUENTS AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20210010016
    Abstract: Nucleic acid constructs, and cells, plants, and plant parts containing such constructs, for modifying content of biomass constituents (e.g, lignin, hemicellulose, and/or cellulose) in plants via altered expression of certain transcription factors (regulators). Lignin, hemicellulose, and/or cellulose content can be decreased by increasing expression of certain negative regulators, or by decreasing expression of positive regulators. Alternatively, lignin, hemicellulose, and/or cellulose content can be increased by decreasing expression of negative regulators, or by increasing expression of positive regulators.
