  • PLANTS EXPRESSING CELL WALL DEGRADING ENZYMES AND EXPRESSION VECTORS
    Publication number: 20210254115
    Abstract: Vectors for expression of proteins in plants are described. The proteins may be enzymes and the enzymes can be but are not limited to cell wall degrading enzymes. A number of plants designed to express specific cell wall degrading enzymes are provided. The plants may have industrial and/or agricultural applications. Methods and materials for making the expression vectors and for making the plants are provided. Processes for which the plants could be used in industrial and agricultural applications are also provided.
