摘要: Lignin has been recognized for its negative impact on forage digestibility, tree pulping properties, and cellulosic biofuel production, although it is the major structural component of the secondarily thickened cell walls of vascular plants. Earlier studies have demonstrated that lignin modification improves forage digestibility and poplar pulping properties. To determine whether lignin modification has beneficial effect on saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass, we pretreated and then enzymatically hydrolyzed the mature wood from transgenic poplar plants that expressed the antisense transgenes of monolignol biosynthesis genes 4-coumarate: CoA ligase (4CL) or caffeoyl CoA 3-O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT). Firstly, a long-term field trial was set up for the transgenic plants. Over five years, the reduced trend of lignin content remained stable in all transgenic lines. And a total lignin reduction of up to 10% did not alter the growth rate or biomass yield of the transgenic poplars. In the mature wood, suppression of CCoAOMT increased saccharification potential, but 4CL down-regulation had no significantly positive effect on saccharification. Sugar yield were negatively correlated with soluble lignin content of dried, extractive-free stem biomass. These results imply that lignin modification can facilitate the process of saccharification for biofuel production in tree crops. (c) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
