An overview of second generation biofuel technologies. (2010, background): “Relatively high annual energy yields from dedicated energy crops, in terms of GJ/ha/yr, can be achieved from these crops compared with many of the traditional food crops currently grown for 1st-generation biofuels (Schemer, 2008; NRDC, 2006).”
Genetic manipulation of lignin reduces recalcitrance and improves ethanol production from switchgrass (2011, background): “It is native to the United States and is a productive perennial C4 species, with a broad cultivation range, that requires relatively minimal agronomic inputs as a biofuel crop (15, 16).”
Downregulation of Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase (CAD) Leads to Improved Saccharification Efficiency in Switchgrass (2011, background): “It has been shown that switchgrass managed as a biomass energy crop with moderate inputs can be as net energy efficient as lowinput systems but produce significantly more energy per unit of land [4].”
Potential of Plants from the Genus Agave as Bioenergy Crops (2012, neutral): “1 50 to 70 NE, SD, ND [44]”
Heterosis in Switchgrass: Biomass Yield in Swards (2008, background): “Improving biomass yield of switchgrass will improve its utility as a dedicated energy crop by increasing both its net and total energy yield per hectare and its potential profi tability (Perrin et al., 2008; Schmer et al., 2008).”
Bio-Fuel Crops Research for Energy Security and Rural Development in Developing Countries (2008, background): “Improved genomics and agronomics may further enhance energy sustainability and bio-fuel yield of switch grass [ 23 ].”
Miscanthus: A Promising Biomass Crop (2010, positive): “High-yielding perennials that are on the field for most of the year can offer a compromise by simplifying crop management over diverse mixtures while still providing ecosystem services (Heaton et al., 2004b; Schmer et al., 2008).”
