Strategic engineering of single or combinations of multiple lignin and wood traits through manipulating the expression of specific monolignol genes or combinations of these genes. a The integrative analysis based gene perturbation strategies to achieve specific desired wood traits. Perturbation strategies for each desired trait are arranged from the most significant effector to the least. Blue text represents increased gene expression, and red text represents reduced gene expression. b, c Examples of integrative analysis predicting how to simultaneously improve a combination of three key wood properties without significant impact on plant growth—downregulating two gene families (PtrPAL and PtrCCoAOMT) (b) or downregulating three gene families (PtrPAL, PtrC3H, and PtrCCoAOMT) (c). Each scatterplot is composed of 100 data points, representing 1 to 100% of wildtype transcript abundance
