Plant Feedstock Genomics for Bioenergy Joint Awards 2006–2013

 

 

Integrating the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) capabilities in genomic sequencing and analysis for production of biofuels with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) long experience in crop improvement, DOE and USDA are working together to fund projects that accelerate plant breeding programs and improve bioenergy feedstocks.

Since 2006, dozens of projects have been funded by the DOE-USDA Plant Feedstock Genomics program, which is jointly supported by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research within DOE’s Office of Science and the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. This program supports fundamental research in biomass genomics to provide the scientific foundation for the use of lignocellulosic materials, either primary material or agricultural residues, for bioenergy and biofuels.

Significant advances in breeding, molecular genetics, and genomic technologies provide an opportunity to build upon the existing knowledgebase of plant biology to be able to confidently predict and manipulate the biological function of plant genomes for bioenergy resources. Areas of interest include:
