Edenspace Systems is engineering plants to produce – internally – cellulose- and lignin-break down enzymes that would otherwise need to be generated and provided externally, at higher cost. The enzymes are to be localized within cellular compartments, to be released after plant biomass is mechanically ground. According to US patent 7696411 and patent filing WO 2009/155601, the technology covers application to plants and trees such as maize, wheat, switchgrass, poplar, and pine. The technology is from Mariam Sticklen’s laboratory at Michigan State University.
