Plant respiration: Controlled by photosynthesis or biomass? [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2019 Abstract Two simplifying hypotheses have been proposed for whole‐plant respiration. One links respiration to photosynthesis; the other to biomass. Using a first‐principles carbon balance model with a prescribed live woody biomass turnover, applied at a forest research site where multidecadal measurements are ...

Biobutanol Production from Plant Biomass [PDF]
The Open Agriculture Journal, 2020 Microbiological conversion of biosphere renewable resources to produce useful products, in particular biofuels, is currently one of the pressing problems of biotechnology. To establish a microbiological production of biobutanol at an industrial scale, strains with high-yield solvent production on plant biomass as a cheap substrate are needed ...
