Recently, the team achieved success in developing a transformation and genome editing system for paper mulberry. As a result, genetically modified plants with significantly altered lignin composition were produced. The absorbency performance of porous carbon material derived from the gene-edited paper mulberry surpassed that of unmodified paper mulberry, demonstrating its potential for environmental remediation and pollutant treatment. A study published in Horticulture Research on April 23 initially focused on generating transgenic paper mulberry plants with altered expression of BpF5H. Two transgenic lines (BpF5H_OE1 and BpF5H_OE2) displaying 186- and 158-fold higher F5H expression levels, respectively, along with two biallelic mutation lines (BpF5H_KO1 and BpF5H_KO2), were selected for further analysis. Lignin composition analysis revealed the complete absence of S unit lignin in BpF5H_KO2, indicating a total loss of F5H function.
