Key points

We observed a reduction of lignin content linked to the expression of fungal laccase in rice plants
The lignin content of L-4, which showed the highest LAC activity among transgenic lines produced, was lower than that of the control line
However, this change was not reflected to the saccharification efficiency

Citation abstract

We observed a reduction of lignin content linked to the expression of fungal laccase in rice plants. The lignin content of L-4, which showed the highest LAC activity among transgenic lines produced, was lower than that of the control line. However, this change was not reflected to the saccharification efficiency.
