A two-for-one in tomato nutritional enhancement

Article Abstract:

A more nutritious tomato is created using the metabolic engineering strategy based on tissue-specific downregulation of a single endogenous gene encoding a developmental transcription factor to simultaneously upregulate two metabolically distinct groups of natural products. This is done by simultaneously increasing the plant antioxidant phytonutrinets produced by the terpenoid and phenylpropanoid pathways.

Loosening lignin's grip on biofuel production

Article Abstract:

The method to exhibit the capability of transgenic approach to minimize or remove the need for pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass, by utilizing antisene-mediated down-regulation of lignin biosynthesis in alfalfa is presented. This enhances the ethanol yield.
