RESEARCH

This study primarily explores the potential of RNA interference mechanisms to downregulate the genes responsible for secondary cell wall components in various monocots. The secondary cell wall components are known for their stiffness and strength, which make them difficult to extract and utilize in biofuel production. However, reducing their amount makes it easier to extract the carbohydrate components that can be blended with other materials to encourage their use in biofuel production. This study's findings could pave the way for more efficient and sustainable biofuel production in the future.
