Genetically Modified Plants for Increased Cell Wall Biomass
Executive SummaryPlant secondary cell walls are the bulk of plant biomass in woody plants. They are necessary for plant growth and are important for numerous industries, including pulp and paper, timber, and biomass feedstocks. Regulating secondary cell wall synthesis in trees and other plants could speed up biomass production for these industries.Description...

Chance-Constrained Optimization for Treatment of Prostate and Other Cancers in Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy
The quality of IMPT treatment plans may be drastically diminished by uncertainties such as proton range and patient setup errors. If these uncertainties are not figured into treatment planning, the dose distribution that the patient receives may not be the same as the planned dose distribution. New treatment plans, which include optimized software/programming,...

Drought-Inducible Utility Promoters
Executive SummaryMany advances have been made in plant biotechnology regarding pesticide resistance, but little has been done to improve drought resistance. In times of global climate change and more extreme weather conditions, technology to increase drought resistance is much needed to prevent crop shortages that reduce food security, drive up food...

Gene to Increase Gluco-Mannan Content in Plants
IntroductionGlobal civilization is heavily reliant on petroleum for necessary fuels and specialty polymers. Although new fossil fuels are continually being formed through natural processes, the conversion of organic material to oil takes millions of years. At the current rate of global consumption, oil reserves are being depleted much faster than new...

Xerico Drought Tolerance Gene
IntroductionDrought is a costly natural disaster that causes approximately eight billion dollars in crop losses annually. With a need to provide food, feed, and fuel for nine billion people by 2050, as estimated by the USDA, continuous crop losses due to drought will continue to have a serious impact on food quantities and prices. Additionally, crops,...

Increase Of Cellulose Biosynthesis
IntroductionCellulose is a complex carbohydrate that serves as the basic structural component of plant cell walls. It accounts for roughly one-third of all vegetal matter, making it the most common organic compound on earth. Due to its ubiquitous nature, cellulose and its derivatives are key resources for the agriculture, forestry, textile, and paper...

Utility Promoters for Biomass Feedstock Biotechnology
IntroductionGenetic optimization of biomass is necessary to improve the rates and final yields of sugar release from woody biomass. Areas that would benefit from genetic optimization include growth rate, environmental stress tolerance, yields of easily fermentable polysaccharides, total lignin content, lowering biomass recalcitrance to fermentation,...
