Effects of field-grown transgenic switchgrass carbon inputs on soil organic carbon cycling

Genetic engineering has been used to decrease the lignin content and to change the lignin composition of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) to decrease cell wall recalcitrance to enable more efficient cellulosic biofuel production. Previous greenhouse and field studies showed that downregulation of t...
