OBTAINING PLANTS HAVING IMPROVED BIOMASS DIGESTIBILITY
Abstract
Obtaining plants having improved biomass digestibility The present invention relates to a plant obtained by mutagenesis, such that the expression and/or the activity of the ESK1 protein and the expression and/or the activity of the TPS7 protein are diminished compared to a non-mutagenated plant. Said plant with biomass that has better digestibility maintains satisfactory growth. A further aim of the present invention is a method for preparing said plant, as well as the use of said plant for the production of biofuel.
