Washington, Dec 23 : A new research has suggested plants that are genetically modified to ease the breaking down of their woody material, could be the key to producing a cheaper and greener way of making biofuels such as ethanol.

However, this protective barrier or "plastic wall" also makes it harder to gain access to the cellulose.
