New systems biology model for wood formation can lead to progress in biofuel and green chemistry applications

Green Car Congress

Researchers in the US, China and Taiwan have developed a new systems biology model that mimics the process of wood formation, allowing scientists to predict the effects of switching on and off the 21 (at least) pathway genes involved in producing lignin, a primary component of wood. trichocarpa predicts wood properties for wood utilization.
