One of the major challenges the world faces is how to provide sustainable sources of energy that meet societal needs as the population continues to grow. The Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI), with funding from the Department of Energy, will develop efficient ways to grow bioenergy crops, transform biomass into valuable chemicals, and market the resulting biofuels and other bioproducts.
A team from CABBI and the Center for Bioenergy Innovation at Oak Ridge National Laboratory identified a gene in poplar trees that enhances photosynthesis and can boost tree height. a finding that could help increase biomass production in crops […]
