METHODS FOR PRODUCING PLANTS THAT EFFECTIVELY PRODUCE XYLAN AND/OR LIGNIN BY INHIBITING FUNCTION OF TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide plants having high productivity of acid-soluble xylan and/or lignin being a raw material for biomaterials.SOLUTION: The invention provides a method for increasing the production of xylan and/or lignin by inhibiting the function of a transcription factor encoded by LXF1 gene derived from Arabidopsis thaliana or a homolog thereof in a target plant.SELECTED DRAWING: None
