Field-grown miR156 transgenic switchgrass reproduction, yield, global gene expression analysis, and bioconfinement

Abstract Background Genetic engineering has been effective in altering cell walls for biofuel production in the bioenergy crop, switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). However, regulatory issues arising from gene flow may prevent commercialization of engineered switchgrass in the eastern United States where...
