CRISPR Gene Editing Used To Build a Better Forest Tree for Sustainable Fiber Production

In a significant breakthrough, researchers at North Carolina State University (NC State) have harnessed the power of CRISPR gene-editing technology to develop poplar trees with reduced lignin levels.

Lignin has long been a major hurdle in achieving sustainable wood fiber production.

Published in the journal Science, this research opens doors to more efficient and environmentally friendly fiber manufacturing processes, Sci-Tech Daily has reported.

The findings hold the potential to revolutionize fiber production for a wide range of applications, including paper and diapers, by making it greener, more affordable, and highly efficient.
