Production of polyhydroxybutyrate in sugarcane

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2006
SummaryWe report here the production of the bacterial polyester, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), in the crop species sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids). The PHB biosynthesis enzymes of Ralstonia eutropha [β‐ketothiolase (PHAA), acetoacetyl‐reductase (PHAB) and PHB synthase (PHAC)] were expressed in the cytosol or targeted to mitochondria or plastids.

Use of sugarcane industrial by-products for improving sugarcane productivity and soil health

International Journal of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture, 2016
Purpose Sugarcane industries are age-old industrial practices in India which contribute a significant amount of byproducts as waste. Handling and management of these byproducts are huge task, because those require lot of space for storage. However, it provides opportunity to utilize these by-products in agricultural crop production as organic nutrient ...

Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendations for Sugarcane Production for Sugar on Florida Sand Soils

EDIS, 2016
Sands used in sugarcane production in Florida have low levels of organic matter, silt, and clay, and they provide little nitrogen (N) through mineralization of organic matter and possess a low capacity for N retention as a result.

Enhanced polyhydroxybutyrate production in transgenic sugarcane [PDF]

Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2012
SummaryPolyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a bacterial polyester that has properties similar to some petrochemically produced plastics. Plant‐based production has the potential to make this biorenewable plastic highly competitive with petrochemical‐based plastics. We previously reported that transgenic sugarcane produced PHB at levels as high as 1.8% leaf dry

Crop Nutrition and Yield Response of Bagasse Application on Sugarcane Grown on a Mineral Soil

Agronomy, 2021
The addition of agricultural by-products to mineral soils has the potential to improve crop production. This study aimed to determine the effects of the readily available sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) milling by-product bagasse as a soil amendment on
