The lignocellulosic perennial crop miscanthus, especially Miscanthus× giganteus, is
particularly interesting for bioenergy production as it combines high biomass production with …

Background Biomass recalcitrance is governed by various molecular and structural factors
but the interplay between these multiscale factors remains unclear. In this study, hot water …

Biofuels made from biomass and waste residues will largely contribute to United States'
2050 decarbonization goal in the aviation sector. While cellulosic biofuels have the potential …

The study used mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) to map the distribution of enzymatically
degraded cell wall polysaccharides in maize stems for two genotypes and at several stages …

Plant cell walls development is an integrated process during which several components are
deposited successively. In the cell walls in grass, the accessibility of structural …

Cenchrus ciliaris L. is a widely used species for cattle feed in arid and semi‐arid regions due
to good forage value and known tolerance to drought conditions. Here, we provide insights …

Introduction With dwindling global freshwater supplies and increasing water stress,
agriculture is coming under increasing pressure to reduce water use. Plant breeding …

Background Grasses internodes are made of distinct tissues such as vascular bundles,
epidermis, rind and pith. The histology of grasses stem was largely revisited recently taking …

Background The crosslinking of maize cell wall components, particularly mediated by the
formation of ferulic acid dimers or diferulates, has been associated with important crop …

The use of lignocellulosic biomass for animal feed or biorefinery requires the optimization of
its degradability. Moreover, biomass crops need to be better adapted to the changing …
