Potential use of bamboo resources in energy value‐added conversion technology and energy systems

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 15, Issue 8, Page 936-953, August 2023., 2023
Bamboo offers a potential solution to the energy crisis and climate change. It can be converted into bioenergy through processes like pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction, fermentation, and anaerobic digestion. However, challenges exist, and an evaluation system for energy bamboo species is proposed to optimize its utilization for maximum benefits ...

The economics and policy of genome editing in crop improvement

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 16, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023
Abstract In this review article we analyze the economics of genome editing and its potential long‐term effect on crop improvement and agriculture. We describe the emergence of genome editing as a novel platform for crop improvement, distinct from the existing platforms of plant breeding and genetic engineering.

Targeted mutagenesis with sequence‐specific nucleases for accelerated improvement of polyploid crops: Progress, challenges, and prospects

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 16, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Many of the world's most important crops are polyploid. The presence of more than two sets of chromosomes within their nuclei and frequently aberrant reproductive biology in polyploids present obstacles to conventional breeding. The presence of a larger number of homoeologous copies of each gene makes random mutation breeding a daunting task ...

Profiling of aroma compounds released from cooking Dendrocalamus latiflorus shoots [PDF]

open access: yesBioResources, 2020
Volatile aroma compounds in Dendrocalamus latiflorus shoots were extracted using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and then heated at various temperatures and for various durations. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses showed that frozen D. latiflorus shoots at ambient temperature contain 18 volatile aroma compounds, with limonene and

De novo phasing resolves haplotype sequences in complex plant genomes

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 1031-1041, June 2022., 2022
Summary Genome phasing is a recently developed assembly method that separates heterozygous eukaryotic genomic regions and builds haplotype‐resolved assemblies. Because differences between haplotypes are ignored in most published de novo genomes, assemblies are available as consensus genomes consisting of haplotype mixtures, thus increasing the need for

A Review on Bamboo Resource in the African Region: A Call for Special Focus and Action

open access: yesInternational Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
The African region has untapped bamboo resource potential with immense socioeconomic, cultural, and ecological significances. Despite the long history of bamboo in the region, its contribution is at the infant stage. Therefore, the present study aimed at reviewing the existing literature supported by research experience on bamboo resource in the region.
