Current enzymatic technologies to break down lignocellulosic materials rely almost exclusively on microbial enzymes. However, recent plant genome sequencing initiatives have revealed large uncharacterized families of plant cell wall modifying proteins with potential value in the biofuels arena. Moreover, a range of complementary proteomics strategies to identify new plant extracellular proteins is further expanding the repertoire of plant enzymes with utility in cellulose/hemicellulose hydrolysis. Preliminary studies suggest that specific isozymes have the potential to generate plant biomass that is more readily converted to ethanol, as well as directly influencing plant growth and biomass production.
