Functional testing of xylan-associated genes in Arabidopsis and application of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in hybrid poplar trees

Nangammbi, Nganeavhutshilo (University of Pretoria, 2021-11-30)

On a quest to eliminate the use of fossil fuels to alleviate challenges associated with climate change, it has become vital to rely on lignocellulosic biomass as an alternative source for generating value-added products ...
The role of transketolase and transaldolase in carbon partitioning to lignin in Arabidopsis thaliana

Ferreira, Stefan (University of Pretoria, 2022-06-06)

Lignocellulosic biomass is earth’s largest renewable material and is used for paper, pulp, biofuels, timber and lignin and cellulosic products. The secondary cell wall (SCW) of xylem tissue in vascular plants is comprised ...
Structure-function relationship between plastid morphology and carbon partitioning during secondary cell wall synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana

Sood, Medha (University of Pretoria, 2022-06-29)

A VND7 induction system in Arabidopsis was used to study plastid morphology at different time points during secondary cell wall deposition. We analyzed published transcriptomic and metabolic data to contextualize these ...
