Seven Years of Biofuels Research: History of DOE’s BRCs
DOE’s three BRC's, JBEI, BESC and GLBRC co-authored a report on the first seven years of their research.
Making the Most from Carbon in Plants, EMSL
Researchers are looking for more effective ways to get at all the carbon in biomass to create more energy and biochemicals. However, a lot of the carbon is in lignin – support tissues in plants, which makes up about a third of the biomass. International teams of scientists are utilizing EMSL' expertise and capabilities to better understand how lignin can be efficiently deconstructed to release its carbon for a more renewable and sustainable energy future.

Biotech Partners high school students intern at JBEI
JBEI partnered with Biotech Partners this summer by providing internships to three high school students.
JBEI hosts NSLC biotech high school students
National Student Leadership Conference produced a short video of their visit to JBEI.
Unlocking the Rice Immune System
Pam Ronald, Director of JBEI’s Grass Genetics program, led a study that identified a bacterial signaling molecule that triggers an immunity response in rice plants, enabling the plants to resist a devastating blight disease. In addition to being a staple food, rice is the model for grass-type biofuels.
