Plant genetic engineering for biofuel production- a problem solver from the root

"Genetically engineering plants to produce cellulases and hemicellulases, and to reduce the need for pretreatment processes through lignin modification, are promising paths to solving this problem, together with other strategies, such as increasing plant polysaccharide content and overall biomass." A review paper published in Nature summarized the research progress in these aspects.
