In an effort to further the commercial viability of cellulosic ethanol, a team of scientists used the Titan supercomputer to model the interaction of lignin and hemicellulose in the plant cell wall of ...
A team of researchers from Washington State University (WSU) and the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has developed an artificial peptoid-based enzyme that can ...
Lignin is a natural component of plant cell walls, the scaffolding that surrounds each cell and plays a pivotal role in plants' ability to grow against gravity and reach heights ranging from stubbly ...
WSU researchers have developed a novel method that extracts lignin in its native form from wheat straw with high yield and purity, overcoming challenges of heterogeneity usually associated with lignin ...
MADISON, Wis. -- When scientists reported in 2014 that they had successfully engineered a poplar plant "designed for deconstruction," the finding made international news. The highly degradable poplar, ...
When making cellulosic ethanol from plants, one problem is what to do with a woody agricultural waste product called lignin. The old adage in the pulp industry has been that one can make anything from ...
For biofuels to compete with petroleum, biorefinery operations must be designed to better utilize lignin. Lignin is one of the main components of plant cell walls. It provides plants with greater ...
The production of lignin in the Arabidopsis plant second from right has been disrupted, resulting in severe dwarfing. Making mutations to two MED5 genes in the dwarfed plant can restore normal growth ...
Bin Yang, an associate professor of biological systems engineering, says that his team of researchers at Washington State University Tri-Cities have figured out a way to successfully convert a common ...
The poplars in the greenhouse near John Ralph’s laboratory show no outward signs of weakness, but they have a secret soft spot. Thanks to genetic engineering, their wood contains an artificial ...
A team of researchers, led by professor Charles E. Wyman, at the University of California, Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering have developed a versatile, relatively non-toxic, and efficient way ...
Lignin is a natural component of plant cell walls, the scaffolding that surrounds each cell and plays a pivotal role in plants' ability to grow against gravity and reach heights ranging from stubbly ...
