The dep1 mutation improves stem lodging resistance and biomass saccharification by affecting cell wall biosynthesis in rice

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors showed that the DEP1 mutation affects cell wall biosynthesis leading to improved lodging and The authors propose that the DEP1 mutation leads to cell wall remodeling by affecting expression levels of cell wall biosynthesis-related genes, which enhances biomass enzymatic saccharification and improves stem mechanical strength for high lodging resistance (Fig 9). This study provides a promising gene resource, DEP1, for genetic modification of cell walls to breed robust rice varieties with high straw biomass enzymatic saccharification.
• Who: Fengcheng Li and collaborators from the Agricultural University, China have published the research: The . . .
