FUNDING-DOE
- Plant Feedstock Genomics for Bioenergy; February 9,
2018
Agency
Department
of Energy (DOE) Office of Science
Description
The
U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, Biological and Environmental
Research (BER) hereby announces interest in receiving applications for
genomics-based research that will lead to the improved use of plant biomass and
feedstocks for the production of biofuels and
renewable chemical feedstocks. Applications are
sought for research on candidate herbaceous and woody plants with improved
resistance/tolerance to disease and disease complexes, and non-food oil seed
crops for improved winter cold tolerance/survivability and agronomic traits.
Research to overcome these biological barriers to the low-cost, high-quality,
scalable and sustainable production of dedicated bioenergy biomass feedstocks
using the tools of genetics and genomics are encouraged.
