Production Technology for Bioenergy Crops and Trees
Tadashi Hirasawa, Taiichiro Ookawa, Shinya Kawai, Ryo Funada and Shinya Kajita
Abstract
New technologies for producing energy crops and trees based on fundamental studies have been developed to improve self-sufficiency in food and feed supplies in addition to achieving sustainable natural resources. Energy crops and trees with improved leaf growth, light interception of crop canopy, photosynthetic rate, lodging resistance, and saccharification efficiency of lignocellulose, among many other traits, need to be explored. DNA marker-assisted selection using genome information has been developed as a powerful tool for breeding new bioenergy crops and trees. In this chapter, the concept ...
