  • Transgenic sweet sorghum with altered lignin composition and process of preparation thereof
    Patent number: 7985890
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sweet sorghum plant characterized by altered lignin content and/or altered lignin composition compared to a wild plant and this is achieved by manipulating the expression of caffeoylCoA-O-methyltransferae (CCoAOMT) in particular and optionally caffeic acid-O-methyltranferase (COMT) in sweet sorghum by incorporation of a construct comprising an isolated DNA sequence represented by SEQ ID NO 2 and optionally SEQ ID NO 1.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 21, 2009
    Date of Patent: July 26, 2011
    Assignee: Nagarjuna Energy Private Limited
    Inventors: Asitava Basu, Mrinal Kumar Maiti, Satarupa Kar, Soumitra Kumar Sen, Banibrata Pandey
  • TRANSGENIC SWEET SORGHUM WITH ALTERED LIGNIN COMPOSITION AND PROCESS OF PREPARATION THEREOF
