- Abstract:
- ... Prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link) is a native perennial warm-season (C4) grass common in North American prairies. With its high biomass yield and abiotic stress tolerance, there is a high potential of developing prairie cordgrass for conservation practices and as a dedicated bioenergy crop for sustainable cellulosic biofuel production. However, as with many other undomesticated grass spe ...

- Abstract:
- ... Duckweed is a simple aquatic floating plant having great potential in sewage treatment and bioenergy production. Duckweed rarely flowers in nature, which greatly limits its germplasm collection, conservation, and heterosis usage. Salicylic acid (SA) can efficiently induce flowering of duckweed (e.g., Lemna gibba); however, the related genes and regulatory networks remain unclear. In this work, we ...
