The present invention provides for a genetically modified plant or plant cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding one or more heterologous enzymes operatively linked a promoter, wherein one or more heterologous enzymes synthesizes muconic acid (MA).
The present invention provides an expression cassette comprising a polynucleotide that encodes a protein that diverts a monolignol precursor from a lignin biosynthesis pathway in the plant, which is operably linked to a heterologous promoter. Also provided are methods of engineering a plant having reduced lignin content, as well as plant cells, plant parts, and plant tissues from such engineered plants.
The present invention provides for a system comprising (a) first polynucleotide encoding a first promoter operatively linked to an open reading frame (ORF) encoding an endoribonuclease, or an enzymatic active fragment thereof, which cleaves a cognition sequence (cog), and (b) a second polynucleotide encoding a second promoter operatively linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding (i) a cog linked to a coding sequence of interest (COI), (ii) a cog linked to the 3′ end of a first COI and the 5′ end of a second COI, or (iii) a cog locating within a LS (or targeting sequence) linked to a COI.
