Jatropha curcas is an important oilseed plant, with considerable potential in the
development of biodiesel. Although Jatropha seed cake, the byproduct of oil extraction, is a …

Background and Aims The hypothesis of an ancient introduction, ie archaeophyte origin, is
one of the most challenging questions in phylogeography. Arundo donax (Poaceae) is …

Background Garlic is cultivated and consumed worldwide as a popular condiment and
green vegetable with medicinal and neutraceutical properties. Garlic cultivars do not …

Arundo donax L., the giant reed—being a long-duration, low-cost, non-food energy crop
able to grow in marginal lands—has emerged as a potential alternative to produce biomass …

Background To compensate for the lack of information about the molecular mechanism
involved in Arundo donax L. response to salt stress, we de novo sequenced, assembled and …

The expected increase of sustainable energy demand has shifted the attention towards
bioenergy crops. Due to their know tolerance against abiotic stress and relatively low …

We generated the bast transcriptomes of a deficient lignified phloem fibre mutant and its wild-
type jute (Corchorus capsularis) using Illumina paired-end sequencing. A total of 34,163 …

Background Arundo donax has attracted renewed interest as a potential candidate energy
crop for use in biomass-to-liquid fuel conversion processes and biorefineries. This is due to …

The giant reed is a fast growing herbaceous non-food crop considered as eligible alternative
energy source to reduce the usage of fossil fuels. Tolerance of this plant to abiotic stress has …

Rinsing tanks of crop sprayers produce significant volumes of Cu-rich Bordeaux mixture
effluents (BME) that can be treated by rhizofiltration in constructed wetlands (CWs). A pilot …
