Researchers at NC State University have developed a groundbreaking method using CRISPR gene-editing technology to breed poplar trees with reduced lignin levels. Lignin is known to be a significant hindrance to sustainable wood fiber production due to its resistance to break down, and reducing its levels could make fiber production more efficient and eco-friendly. The researchers employed predictive modeling to establish goals for lowering lignin levels and increasing the carbohydrate-to-lignin (C/L) ratio and the ratio of two key lignin building blocks, syringyl to guaiacyl (S/G). Subsequently, they identified 347 gene-editing strategies and carefully selected the most promising seven that would…
