Commercial cellulosic ethanol: The role of plant-expressed enzymes (2009, background): “…stover (2.4 t/ha) could be sustainably harvested (Graham et al. 2007), and a conservative hydrolytic enzyme requirement of 15 kg per ton biomass (Houghton et al. 2006), a minimum estimated enzyme yield of ∼36 kg/ha would enable the grain to provide the enzymes required to process the stover…”
Cell-wall carbohydrates and their modification as a resource for biofuels. (2008, background): “Hence, one major objective is to make walls more accessible to degradation (Himmel et al., 2007; Houghton et al., 2006).”

Biofuels in Brazil: an overview. (2007, methodology): “This project is using systems biology, which is based on high-throughput technologies and computational modeling, to aid in our understanding of biological processes related to biofuel production (USDOE, 2006), such as fuel production from lignocellulosic components of biomass (CAST, 2004; Koonin, 2”
