Biomass production in marginal lands represents one of the most challenging and promising alternatives to sustainably produce biofuels. Native species seem be adequate option obtain a profitable output when low-input techniques are applied, biomass is grown depleted soils harsh climatic conditions. In this study, 5-year field trial island Majorca served investigate different autochthonous natur...

Waxy varieties of the tetraploid cereal broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) have endosperm starch granules lacking detectable amylose. This study investigated the basis of this phenotype using molecular and biochemical methods. Iodine staining of starch granules in 72 plants from 38 landrace accessions found 58 nonwaxy and 14 waxy phenotype plants. All waxy types were in plants from Chinese...
