The production of lignocellulosic biofuels still faces technical difficulties regarding the efficient degradation of plant biomass, which is known as recalcitrance. In order to develop biotechnological strategies to reduce biomass recalcitrance, it is essential to understand the molecular basis of Secondary Cell Wall (SCW) biosynthesis and deposition, since SCW is the main constituent of …
Sugarcane is a C4 grass used for centuries as the main source of sugar and, more recently, for bioethanol production. Due to its great importance on world's economic scenario, studies on sugarcane are important to produce knowledge that might lead to increase in yield to supply both internal and external demand. Sugarcane genomics is way behind compared to the knowledge of other crops, su…
Sugarcane is a C4 grass used for food and bioenergy production. Despite its importance, biotechnology for sugarcane is less advanced compared to other important crops, mainly due to the complexity of its genome. The production of transgenic plants is a promising option to improve tolerance to stresses, higher yield, or to generate varieties better suited for bioenergy purposes. However, s…
