Biomass for Bioenergy - Recent Trends and Future Challenges

genotypes with low lignin, high cellulose, and hemicellulose components have been identified. Furthermore, with the help of translational analysis, an uncharacterized protein (Sobic.009G229800) is identified in tall sorghum genotypes. It regulates plant height by altering the length of internodes. Sorghum feedstock's stem compositional analysis, genomics, phenomics, and proteomics are enabling technologies extensively used by sorghum researchers for selection of elite sorghum germplasm with biofuel potential.
