| Session 1: Plant Science and Technology | |||
| This session will highlight advances in plant science and agronomic technologies to enhance the quantity and quality of plant materials as a renewable feedstocks base. Papers are sought describing progress across all relevant research areas, from breeding to improve plant yield or processing characteristics to in planta expression of enzymes or coproducts, to advances in harvesting technology and supply chain logistics. | |||
