A Standardized Synthetic Eucalyptus Transcription Factor and Promoter Panel for Re-engineering Secondary Cell Wall Regulation in Biomass and Bioenergy Crops
Steven G. Hussey, Jacqueline Grima-Pettenati, Alexander A. Myburg, Eshchar Mizrachi, Siobhan M. Brady, Yasuo Yoshikuni, and Samuel Deutsch Abstract Re-engineering of transcriptional networks regulating secondary cell wall formation may allow the improvement of plant biomass in widely grown plantation crops such as Eucalyptus. However, there is currently a scarcity of freely available standardized biological parts (e.g., Phytobricks) compatible with Type IIS assembly […]
