TN Agricultural Experiment Station
| 项目名称： | TN Agricultural Experiment Station |
| 摘要： | The project administers a biennial program of 4-5 multi-institutional multiyear grants (3 years, $250K each) and 2-4 short-term seed grants (2 years, $50K-$75K each). The focus is on developing switchgrass as a bioenergy crop. Research could include: 1) economics and policy analysis on feedstock availability and cost analysis/effects of state and federal decisions on evolution of the bioeconomy; 2) plant sciences and molecular genetics, especially increased photosynthetic efficiency and biomass production, down regulation of lignin synthesis, 3) alteration of cellulosic superstructure to reduce recalcitrance, in-situ gene insertion to trigger degradation and optimize pre-treatments, and selection of improved tree species for energy production; 4) the environmental impact of intensive bioenergy crop management; 5) biomass production of selected switchgrass varieties on different sites; 6) energy reduction of pre-processing through optimal equipment design; 7) assessment of warm-season grass ecosystems on wildlife populations; and 8) the effects of agronomic practices on chemical and structural characteristics of bioenergy crops and agricultural residue. |
