Wiley Bioenergy Feedstocks: Breeding and Genetics Book

Explore the science of sustainable fuel production with Bioenergy Feedstocks: Breeding and Genetics. As the world shifts toward biofuels, understanding the biological foundations of energy crops is essential. This book examines the transition from first-generation fuels, derived from vegetable oils, grains, and sugarcane, to second-generation biofuels developed from non-food energy crops like Miscanthus and switchgrass. Readers gain access to recent advances in the understanding of genetics and breeding practices across a diverse range of crops. This text serves as a practical tool for those looking to improve cultivars and increase energy crop yields. Whether you are researching bioenergy sustainability or studying plant genetics, this resource provides the technical knowledge needed to support the development of efficient, non-food energy sources for the future.
