Pre-senescence Harvest of Switchgrass Inhibits Xylose Utilization by Engineered Yeast

Proper timing of switchgrass harvest for bioenergy is important to maximize yield and optimize end use conversion. Proposed windows range from peak biomass to the following spring after overwintering in the field. There are various pros and cons associated with harvest timing: earlier harvests maxim...
