Objective
The proposal complies with the Common Agricultural Policy in the diversification of Agriculture in the area of non-food and forage crops. It will lead to wealth creating-opportunities that are environmentally desirable in a number of developing industrial fields. It is designed as a core discovery programme using polemics and leading to gene isolation involved in the biosynthesis of cell wall lignin's and hemicelluloses in the model species tobacco. The influence of these components on fibre properties and cellulose availability will be determined in modified plants to define the limits to which they can be manipulated beneficially. These deliverables can be used to direct molecular breeding programmes and genetic modification to improve fibre and will be extended to the commercial species, poplar, for biomass energy and improved pulping and paper making, maize, for improved forage digestibility and flax for improved production of industrial fibre.
