Development and Utilization of Sorghum as a Bioenergy Crop (2008, background): “Enzymatic saccharification of the stover of some of the bmr mutants results in enhanced yields of fermentable sugars, and may reduce the need for harsh pretreatments and allow lower enzyme loadings to be used in commercial settings (Vermerris et al. 2007).”
Bio-Fuel Crops Research for Energy Security and Rural Development in Developing Countries (2008, background): “2×10(9) l in 2006) are the largest producers of ethanol [28].”
Sweet Sorghum Genetic Diversity and Association Mapping for Brix and Height (2009, background): “Recent demand for biofuel, in light of perceived Brazilian success with sugarcane, has caused a re-evaluation of sweet sorghums as a source of energy (Rooney et al., 2007; Vermerris et al., 2007).”
Allelic Association, Chemical Characterization and Saccharification Properties of brown midrib Mutants of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) (2008, background): “Modification of cell wall composition through the use of genetic approaches appears to be a promising way to enhance processing efficiency and reduce costs [44].”
Wood based lignin reactions important to the biorefinery and pulp and paper industries. (2013, methodology): “No matter the pretreatment method employed or the wood composition, lignin is a major constituent that results in enzymes’ decreased ability to hydrolyze plant cell walls (Chang and Holtzapple 2000; Chen and Dixon 2007; Dien 2009; Vermerris et al. 2007; Wyman 2009).”
Lignin Biosynthesis and Structure1 (2010, background): “In addition to biotech plants, clear benefits have been shown years ago for a number of natural mutants, both in grasses (Vermerris et al., 2007) andpine (Pinus taeda;Dimmel et al., 2001;Yuet al., 2006).”
Genetic improvement of C4 grasses as cellulosic biofuel feedstocks (2009, background): “…Sciences, University of Georgia, 111 Riverbend Road, Athens, GA 30602, USA and composition of cell walls determine, among other factors, sugar release and thus the efficiency of the ethanol extraction process (Davison et al. 2006; Chen and Dixon 2007; Vermerris et al. 2007; Yoshida et al. 2008).”
Lignin content in natural Populus variants affects sugar release (2011, background): “These results can only partly be validated by literature, because lignin composition is often not recorded (9, 10).”
