General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function downregulation by RNAi leads to a 22.4% decrease in Klason lignin content and a 23.3% increase in cellulose content compared with wild-type. The lignin monomer composition of the RNAi plants shows a 57.08% higher S/G ratio than wild-type plants. Histological staining of lignin with Wiesner reagent produces slightly more coloration in the xylem and sclerenchyma than in wild-type plants Zea mays
