CALS Research, NCSU's insight:
BIOFUELS: Research breakthrough seen helping engineer better feedstocks | CALS researcher Dr. Candace Haigler is part of team whose groundbreaking research created a 3-D model of the plant enzyme, celullose synthase, responsible for cellulose biosynthesis. The model, based on cotton fibers, will be used to study other crops and develop crops for biofuels & other uses. The paper appears in the prestigious journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. | News article | http://tinyurl.com/b5xr77m | Paper in PNAS | http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2013/04/16/1301027110

The Biofuels Center of North Carolina recently awarded $684,000 for six projects to accelerate the renewable fuels industry in western North Carolina. Awards were determined through a competitive, peer-reviewed process.
CALS Research, NCSU's insight:
Among the awards to NC State University were these, to
- $143,787 to North Carolina State University for on-farm evaluation of perennial biofuel crops to educate farmers and cooperative extension agents through demonstrating the best economic and agronomic data for energy grasses. - $125,375 to Mountain Horticultural Crops Research and Extension Center to develop high-yield hybrids of cold-hardy sugarcanes that can be established with vegetative propagation. - $124,628 to Mountain Horticultural Crops Research and Extension Center to develop high-yield hybrids of giant miscanthus that can be established with vegetative propagation.
