Title: Production of .beta.-glucosidase, hemicellulase and ligninase in e1 and flc-cellulase-transgenic plants
Inventor: STICKLEN MASOMEH B
IPC: C12N9/04
Filed: 2007-06-12
Abstract: The present invention provides transgenic plants expressing one or more cell wall degrading enzymes that can degrade lignocellulose to fermentable sugars. These fermentable sugars can further be fermented to ethanol or other products. The enzymes are directed to the plastids or the apoplasts or the transgenic plant for storage. When the transgenic plants are harvested, the plants are ground to release the enzymes which then are used to degrade the lignocellulose of plant material to produce the fermentable sugars. The transgenic plants express the flowering locus c gene so that flowering is delayed and the plant biomass is increased.
