Review and in silico analysis of fermentation, bioenergy, fiber, and biopolymer genes of biotechnological interest inAgaveL. for genetic improvement and biocatalysis

Abstract: Several of the over 200 known species of Agave L. are currently used for production of distilled beverages and biopolymers. The plants live in a wide range of stressful environments as a result of their resistance to abiotic stress (drought, salinity, and extreme temperature) and pathogens, which gives the genus potential for germplasm conservation and biotechnological applications that may minimize economic losses as a result of the global climate change. However, the limited knowledge in the genus of genome … Show more

“…These are intriguing findings, as one of the aims for agave crops is the reduction of time needed for cultivation and maintaining yield and quality of agave-based cellulose materials. 77 The possibility of engineering agave genomes to integrate native and novel genetic and biochemical features using synthetic biology (SynBio) could facilitate the creation of plants with reproducible cultivation parameters. To carry out this task, different steps will be required for engineering novel functionalities, starting with the generation of simple genetic parts, composite parts, and genetic devices for the design of genetic circuits that can be assembled in multi-gene constructs for interspecies transfer.…”

“…Nevertheless, in silico analyses have already identified potential cellulase synthases, glucanases, and sucrose synthases that could be utilized in fiber production. These are intriguing findings, as one of the aims for agave crops is the reduction of time needed for cultivation and maintaining yield and quality of agave‐based cellulose materials 77 . The possibility of engineering agave genomes to integrate native and novel genetic and biochemical features using synthetic biology (SynBio) could facilitate the creation of plants with reproducible cultivation parameters.…”

“…Como se comentó, los fructanos pueden localizarse en los órganos de la superficie como las hojas y las flores abiertas [61]. También pueden encontrarse en las vacuolas [11,61].…”

“…Como se comentó, los fructanos pueden localizarse en los órganos de la superficie como las hojas y las flores abiertas [61]. También pueden encontrarse en las vacuolas [11,61]. Lo anterior sugiere que, en las hojas de la planta de agave y durante la floración, podrían clonarse genes que codifican para exohidrolasas fructosílicas, posiblemente, por la alta actividad fotosintética que estas realizan y la constante división celular, respectivamente.…”
