Field-Based Estimates of Global Warming Potential in Bioenergy Systems of Hawaii: Crop Choice and Deficit Irrigation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Replacing fossil fuel with biofuel is environmentally viable from a climate change perspective only if the net greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint of the system is reduced.

Allometric Models for Predicting Aboveground Biomass and Carbon Stock of Tropical Perennial C4 Grasses in Hawaii [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Biomass is a promising renewable energy option that provides a more environmentally sustainable alternative to fossil resources by reducing the net flux of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere.

Functional characterization of cellulases identified from the cow rumen fungus Neocallimastix patriciarum W5 by transcriptomic and secretomic analyses [PDF]

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2011
Background Neocallimastix patriciarum is one of the common anaerobic fungi in the digestive tracts of ruminants that can actively digest cellulosic materials, and its cellulases have great potential for hydrolyzing cellulosic feedstocks.

Study on Callus Induction System of 4 Genotype of Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum ) [PDF]

Animal Production: Indonesian Journal of Animal Production, 2016
The aim of this study was to produce callus induction potential of 4 napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum) genotypes (Dwarf Late, Hybrid, Merkeron and Wrukwona). Callus was induced from shoot apices of shoot tillers  on MS media containing 2,4-D and BAP. On

Genetic improvement of napiergrass and hybrids with pearl millet

Biomass and Bioenergy, 1993
Abstract Genetic improvement of napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) has included both intraspecific and interspecific hybridization. Our main thrust has been on interspecific hybrids between P. glaucum (L.) R.Br. (pearl millet) and P. purpureum, but we have also studied intraspecific hybrids between USDA PI 300086 (cv. Kinggrass) and PI 517947 (

Grassland Establishment of Dwarf Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) by Planting of Cuttings in the Winter Season

Agronomy, 2018
We investigated a new method for the establishment of dwarf Napiergrass by covering stem cuttings with soil in the winter season analogously to summer establishment in sugarcane. Three experiments were conducted, including measuring the labor involved in

Vegetative Propagation of Napiergrass and Energycane for Biomass Production in the Southeastern United States

Agronomy Journal, 2012
With renewed interest in planting large areas to bioenergy crops, improvements in establishment methods are needed. Our objectives were to evaluate propagation methods with stem cuttings of napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.), and to determine the optimum planting date for napiergrass and energycane (Saccharum hybrid) in the southeastern Coastal ...

Impediments to Hybridization between Napiergrass and different Pennisetum Species

Crop Science, 2017
Napiergrass [Pennisetum purpureum (Schum.) Morrone] is a robust, perennial, warm‐season grass that grows throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Some genotypes have sufficient winter hardiness to survive winters in the Gulf Coast region of the United States.

Enhancement of anaerobic methanogenesis from napiergrass by addition of micronutrients

Bioresource Technology, 1986
Mesophilic anaerobic digestion of Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.), supplemented with nitrogen and phosphorous, resulted in a low rate of methane production and high volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations. Daily addition of micronutrients — nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, selenium and sulfate (as a sulfur source) — increased methane production ...

Protein enrichment and digestion improvement of napiergrass and pangolagrass with solid-state fermentation

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2013
Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumacher) and pangolagrass (Digitaria decumbens Stent) are two major forage grasses for cow feeding. They possess high yields and high regeneration properties. Inoculation of cellulolytic microbes on herbage could enhance the protein content of herbage and promote digestibility in chickens.Cellulolytic microbes were ...
