Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and materials for modulating biomass composition in plants are disclosed. For example, nucleic acids encoding biomass composition-modulating polypeptides are disclosed as well as methods for using such nucleic acids to transform plant cells. Also disclosed are plants having altered biomass composition and plant products produced from plants having altered biomass composition.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A rice plant cell from a rice plant comprising an exogenous nucleic acid, said exogenous nucleic acid comprising a regulatory region operably linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 101, wherein the rice plant was selected for having an increased total glucose release from cell wall after pretreatment as compared to the corresponding composition of a control rice plant that does not comprise said exogenous nucleic acid, and wherein the rice plant cell comprises the exogenous nucleic acid. 2 . A rice plant comprising an exogenous nucleic acid, said exogenous nucleic acid comprising a regulatory region operably linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 101, and wherein the rice plant is selected for having an increased total glucose release from cell wall after pretreatment as compared to the corresponding composition of a control rice plant that does not comprise said exogenous nucleic acid. 3 . A progeny of the rice plant of claim 2 , wherein the progeny comprises the exogenous nucleic acid. 4 . The rice plant of claim 2 , wherein the rice plant exhibits an at least 2.0 fold increase in total glucose release from cell wall after pretreatment as compared to that of a control plant that does not comprise said exogenous nucleic acid. 5 . The rice plant of claim 2 , wherein the rice plant exhibits an at least 2.5 fold increase in total glucose release from cell wall after pretreatment as compared to that of a control plant that does not comprise said exogenous nucleic acid. 6 . A method of producing a rice plant, said method comprising growing a rice plant comprising an exogenous nucleic acid, said exogenous nucleic acid comprising a regulatory region operably linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 101, and selecting the rice plant for having an increased total glucose release from cell wall after pretreatment as compared to a control plant that does not comprise said nucleic acid. 7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the rice plant is selected for exhibiting an at least 2 fold increase in total glucose release from cell wall after pretreatment. 8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the rice plant is selected for exhibiting an at least 2.5 fold increase in total glucose release from cell wall after pretreatment.
