Survey of Genomics Approaches to Improve Bioenergy Traits in Maize,Sorghum and Sugarcane

Bioenergy crops currently provide the only source of alternative energy with the potential to reduce the use of fossil transportation fuels in a way that is compatible with existing engine technology,including in developing countries.Even though bioenergy research is currently receiving considerable attention,many of the concepts are not new,but rather build on intense research efforts from 30 years ago.A major difference with that era is the availability of genomics tools that have the potential to acceler...
