THE GRASS STEM AS A FACTORY …

Engineering targets:

1. Alter developmental

programs.

a. increase stem size
b. more parenchyma cells
c. Accelerate sucrose transfer

from leaves to stem.

2. Divert sucrose from default

storage in cell walls.

a. Reduce cellulose/lignin.
b. Reduce sucrose storage in

vacuole

c. Increase alternative carbon

storage molecules (e.g. oils).

3. Increase sucrose production in

leaves by manipulating photosynthesis.
