Boosting lignocellulosic bioethanol production: fermentation of corn stalk using a lignin-reduced brown midrib 2 maize mutant
Our results provide direct evidence that the bm2 mutation enhances lignocellulosic ethanol production by reducing lignin content and improving saccharification efficiency. This work underscores the value of bm2 in breeding specialized corn varieties for sustainable biofuel feedstock.
