| abstract |
Polynucleotides encoding polypeptides including biosynthetic pathways for lignin of jute plants are disclosed. The present invention generally relates to the field of plant lignin biosynthetic genes, polypeptides encoded by these genes, and the use of such polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences to regulate plant lignin production. Also disclosed are methods of using polynucleotides and polypeptides to affect the amount and quality of fibers produced by jute. |
