Improvement of Forage Quality by Downregulation of Maize O‐Methyltransferase

Lignin is a complex, aromatic polymer that limits plant cell wall degradation by ruminants and reduces the nutritional value of forages. Genetic engineering, using an antisense strategy, offers the potential to modulate enzymes in the lignin biosynthetic pathway as a way to reduce lignin, thereby im...
