Researchers convert sugarcane to a cold-tolerant, more photosynthetically efficient, oil-producing crop

Green Car Congress

A multi-institutional team led by researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign reports that it can increase sugarcane’s geographic range, boost its photosynthetic rate by 30% and turn it into an oil-producing crop for biodiesel production. They increased oil production in sugarcane stems to about 1.5%.
