Sugar-rich sweet sorghum and biomass-rich Miscanthus are potential bioenergy crops in China. Researchers studied these plants' traits for large-scale energy production and analyzed their cell wall composition to improve how efficiently they can be turned into ethanol. By looking at a large number of plants, they identified aspects that affect how well enzymes can break down the plants and convert them to ethanol. The study suggests genetic modifications could increase the crops' biomass, make them easier to convert to ethanol, and enhance efficiency in the process.
