Lignocellulose is the most abundant renewable biomass resource in nature. Pretreatment of lignocellulose can improve accessibility cellulase to cellulose raw materials, reduce ineffective adsorption cellulase, crystallinity and obtain higher reducing sugar. In this paper, several practical pretreatment technologies are summarized, methods, principles, advantages disadvantages each technology th...

Understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating pea seed developmental process is extremely important for pea breeding. In this study, we used high-throughput RNA-Seq and bioinformatics analyses to examine the changes in gene expression during seed development in vegetable pea and grain pea, and compare the gene expression profiles of these two pea types. RNA-Seq generated 18.7 G of raw data,...

Preliminary pilot plant experiments have been made in order to evaluate " a process for removing starch, a principal deterrent to the commercial usage of sweet sorghums (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench) as a supplementary sugar crop. Defecation of the dilute raw juice at low temperature and at a pH of 7.7-7.9 with the addition of a flocculant resulted in an 89% removal of starch. A similar defecatio...
