Systems Analysis of Embolism Resiliency in Grasses for Biofuel Production Under Marginal Environments

Lead Institution

Washington State University

Principal Investigator

Andrii Smertenko

Project type

FICUS Research

Production of grass lignocellulosic biomass for biorefining can be significantly diminished by periods of acute high temperature known as heat waves. High temperature disrupts folding of proteins…

Comparative Systems Analysis of Bioenergy Grass Internode Development for Biofuel Production in Marginal Environments

Lead Institution

Washington State University

Principal Investigator

Andrii Smertenko

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Grass internodes are the primary source of lignocellulosic biomass. However, despite extensive research on internode biology, our ability to model and manipulate the internode growth to improve…
