Pinus radiata nucleic acids encoding O-methyl transferase and methods for the modification of plant lignin content therewith

摘要

Novel isolated polynucleotides associated with the lignin biosynthetic pathway are provided, together with constructs including such sequences. Methods for the modulation of lignin content, lignin structure and lignin composition in target organisms are also disclosed, the methods comprising incorporating one or more of the polynucleotides of the present invention into the genome of a target organism.
