Abstract
The invention relates to methods for increasing saccharification potential in a plant, comprising overexpressing a polynucleotide encoding an acetyl xylan esterase polypeptide in at least one cell type in said plant. The invention further relates to methods for producing genetically modified plants overexpressing a polynucleotide encoding an acetyl xylan esterase polypeptide, as well as to genetically modified plants produced by such methods.
