Developing a Sustainable Feedstock and Next Generation Processing Technologies for Biofuels Production
| 项目名称： | Developing a Sustainable Feedstock and Next Generation Processing Technologies for Biofuels Production |
| 摘要： | The objective of this research project is to develop prairie cord grass (PCG) as a feedstock for marginal lands and biochemical processes to improve its conversion to biofuel and bioproducts. Sites have been identified. Grass breeding program initiated to create hybrids. The project will conduct disease survey and genetics studies on key traits for biomass production. Work underway on economical and effective pretreatment strategies and single-step bioconversion at high solids levels. Sequencing of PCG caffeic_acid_3-O-methyltransferase (COMT) based on primers from comparative genomics the first exon (Cloned) was cloned and sequenced. Transcriptome analysis identified the second exon (Contig). From these sequences additional primers have been developed and sequenced to bridge the gap between the two putative exons. Some additional sequence has been found (cloned2). |
