Special issue : harnessing plant biomass for biofuels and biomaterials

This Special Issue of the Plant Journal (Volume 54 (4) May 2008) is devoted to the biochemical processes that plants can or could use to produce biofuels and other useful biomaterials, and is available in full-text free of charge. Useful for researchers, students, teachers and other interested individuals, it comprises 17 peer reviewed articles written by invited experts, along with an editorial introducing the topic and discussing some of the papers. The reviews aim to be accessible to the general public and to provide a scientific backdrop to discussions on alternative sources of carbon, such as ethanol and biodiesel, and on other important chemicals derived from plants. Also available from the site is an accompanying podcast (17 minutes 14 seconds) featuring an interview with Professor Christoph Benning, a Co-Editor of the special issue. Published by Blackwell Publishing Ltd in association with the Society for Experimental Biology, and made available on Web by Wiley InterScience.
