Isolation and characterization of partial genomic sequence of cellulose synthase (CesA) gene from Batai (Paraserianthes falcataria)

Paraserianthes falcataria or locally known as batai has been widely used in the production of timber-based products such as plywood, furniture and light-weight construction materials. Recently, P. falcataria has been reported to show highest level of cellulose enzymatic hydrolysis and bioethanol pro...

Description
Summary:Paraserianthes falcataria or locally known as batai has been widely used in the production of timber-based products such as plywood, furniture and light-weight construction materials. Recently, P. falcataria has been reported to show highest level of cellulose enzymatic hydrolysis and bioethanol production. Therefore, in order to obtain a better quality of cellulose, it is crucial to identify and isolate the cellulose synthase (ChesA) gene which is directly involved in the cellulose biosynthesis.
