Session 7
Feedstock I – Plant Genetics and Recalcitrance
Tuesday, April 29, 2014: 1:00 PM-4:25 PM
Grand Ballroom A-C, lobby level (Hilton Clearwater Beach)
Conveners:

Research aimed at producing improved plant cultivars is underway worldwide with the goal of producing biomass sources with improved cell wall structure, growth and composition characteristics beneficial to bioconversion. This session will highlight research on breeding to improve plant yield, advances in domestication of promising biomass species, in planta expression of enzymes, fundamental understanding of biophysical origin of biomass recalcitrance, developments in crops with reduced recalcitrance for better processing characteristics, and advances in plant systems biology research
