- Intervention effect Double laccase inactivation reduced mature culm lignin content by 20–30% versus wild type.
- Intervention effect Double laccase inactivation increased saccharification yield by 140% versus wild type.
- Intervention effect Ferulic acid release after mild alkaline hydrolysis was 2.5-fold higher in the double mutant.
- Observation Interfascicular fibers were primarily affected by the double mutation.
- Observation The double mutation had no drastic impact on plant growth.
- Mechanism Two Brachypodium laccases were implicated in lignification.
- Observation Interfascicular fiber and metaxylem cell lignification were partly uncoupled.
- Recommendation Orthologs of these laccases were proposed as targets to improve grass biofuel feedstock.
