Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The urgent need for renewable resources has increased the interest in woody biomass to manufacture bio‐based products. However, lignin recalcitrance limits the enzymatic conversion of wood into fermentable sugars, posing a major challenge for biomass deconstruction.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a vital cereal crop in dry regions worldwide. However, in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), grain yields from currently grown varieties remain low (< 1 ton/ha) and exhibit variable nutrient composition. Therefore, the objective of this study was to undertake a genetic analysis of selected East African‐adapted ...

Decoloured Bloodmeal Based Bioplastic [PDF]
, 2012 Renewable and compostable bioplastics can be produced from biopolymers such as proteins. Animal blood is a by-product from meat processing and is rich in protein. It is dried into low value bloodmeal and is used as animal feed or fertiliser.

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 19, 14 October 2026.A green approach to esterify wheat starch by reactive extrusion using a novel deep eutectic solvent has been developed. The DES acted both as a starch solvent and as an activating agent to complete the esterification within 15–30 min. This novel approach opens new opportunities for the development and upscaling of biobased polymers with promising ...
