| Abstract | |
Wood is an abundant and renewable feedstock for pulping and biorefining, but the aromatic polymer lignin greatly limits its efficient use. Sulis et al. recently reported a multiplex CRISPR editing strategy targeting multiple lignin biosynthetic genes to achieve combined lignin modifications, improve wood properties, and make pulping more sustainable.
