Abstract in brief

The conversion of lignocellulosic materials into fermentable sugars for biofuel production is typically inefficient, often leading to growth issues when targeting lignin biosynthesis.
Researchers found that expressing Pag-miR408 in poplar trees improves saccharification without needing acid treatment and even boosts plant growth.
Pag-miR408 affects lignin production by targeting specific enzymes, resulting in better accessibility of plant cell walls to conversion processes, which could enhance biomass yield for bioenergy.
