Abstract

Development of high-quality, dedicated biomass feedstocks requires an understanding of the chemical, anatomical and physical traits of plants that make biomass more amenable to chemical and biological processing. The availability of sequenced plant genomes, such as Arabidopsis, rice, and Populus, helps create the genomic resources needed to improve biomass characteristics so that they become more amenable to conversion for fuels and chemicals in future biorefineries.
