Redefining Agricultural Residues as Bioenergy Feedstocks

摘要: The use of plant biomass is a sustainable alternative to the reduction CO2 emissions. Agricultural residues are interesting bioenergy feedstocks because they do not compete with food and add extra value crop, which might help manage these in many regions. Breeding crops for dual production has been reported previously, but ideal features different when lignocellulosic burnt heat or electricity, fermented biofuel production. Stover moisture one most important traits management agricultural waste can be modified by genetic improvement. A delayed leaf senescence stay-green characteristic contributes higher grain yield standard, low nutrient, drought-prone environments. In addition, trait could favorable development purpose varieties this associated losses lodging. On other hand, detrimental if it stover at harvest, although hypothesis insufficiently tested. paper, review relevant presented particular emphasis on stay-green, less attention paid literature. possibility developing new combined discussed from breeding perspective.
