A gene-editing/complementation strategy for tissue-specific lignin reduction while preserving biomass yield (open access)

A gene-editing/complementation strategy for tissue-specific lignin reduction while preserving biomass yield

This article develops a method, using a single DNA construct that uses CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing to knock-out expression of an endogenous gene of lignin monomer biosynthesis while at the same time expressing a modified version of the gene’s open reading frame that escapes cutting by the Cas9 system and complements the introduced mutation in a tissue-specific manner. This method is applicable to any plant species in which transformation and gene editing are feasible and validated vessel-specific promoters are available.
