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.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interests The authors declare no conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
