• Comparative Effects of the Sorghum bmr -6 and bmr -12 Genes: I. Forage Sorghum Yield and Quality (2005, background): “The types usually contain less lignin and have altered lignin objective of this study was to determine the impact of bmr-6 and bmr-12 chemical composition (Bucholtz et al., 1980; Cherney on forage yield and quality in these genetic backgrounds: ‘Atlas’, et al., 1991; Vogel and Jung, 2001).”
• Forage and Turf Grass Biotechnology (2001, background): “Small increases in digestibility are expected to have significant impact on forage quality and thus on animal productivity (Vogel and Jung, 2001).”
• The genetics of lignin biosynthesis: connecting genotype to phenotype. (2010, background): “It is important to note, however, that lignin biosynthesis is also of crucial importance in herbaceous (nonwoody) species and that even in these species the majority of flux through the phenylpropanoid pathway is dedicated to the synthesis of monolignols (133).”
• Biofuel component concentrations and yields of switchgrass in South Central U.S. environments. (2005, background): “…cleanly and requiring a supplemental fuel source to sup-from switchgrass are currently unclear because biomass port combustion when moisture exceeds 500 g kg 1.conversion technology is at a very early stage of developLewandowski and Kicherer (1997) cited 230 g kg 1 ofment (Vogel and Jung, 2001).”
• Lignin biosynthesis. (2003, background): “Lignin also inhibits forage digestibility by ruminants (147).”
• Transgenics are imperative for biofuel crops (2008, background): “The problem of transgene flow from switchgrass to related Panicum species [105] could be obviated by many of the transgene mitigation strategies discussed in depth elsewhere [6].”
• Switchgrass Breeding, Genetics, and Genomics (2012, background): “These low-lignin genotypes have significant potential to improve conversion efficiency of switchgrass biomass to bioenergy in a fermentation system where lignin is one of the chief factors limiting ethanol production [49, 50].”
• Biomass Yield and Stand Characteristics of Switchgrass in South Central U.S. Environments (2005, background): “The south central region of the ularly for dry matter yield (DMY) (Hopkins et al.,USA is characterized by mild to moderate winters, hot 1995a, 1995b; Vogel and Jung, 2001; Casler and Boe,and often dry summers, low native soil fertility, and 2003).”
