Use of biotech to modify existing
components…
Typical wood: (or stalks/fiber)
Cellulose (1,4-glucan) – tensile strength
Lignin (phenolic polymers) – rigidity
Hemicellulose (mixed polysaccharides)
Down regulated
via anti-sense
Typical processing involves
removing lignin from
cellulosic components.
Not only was lignin down,
growth of the trees was
significantly enhanced.
From: Hu et al, (1999) Nature Biotechnology, 17, pp 808-812.
Spider silk proteins…
 Seven known protein types
 Repetitive amino acid arrays
“Flagelliform” silk
 Highly elastic (200% extension)
“Frame dragline” silk
 Strength = 300,000 lbs/sq inch
 Lighter than steel or petro-polymers

– New approaches via natural genes….
 Crop performance.
– Fertilizer use efficiency, stress tolerance….
 Compositional quality.
– Focus on feed moving to food (more slowly)
 Nutraceutical & health related.
– Antioxidants, edible vaccines….
 Industrial renewable resources.
– Raw materials inputs, few novel products.
