New research could lead to
better biofuel sources

Plant geneticist Dan Szymanski of the Purdue Department of Agronomy is leading a research team that has defined a biochemical pathway that may make it possible to engineer plants with improved properties, potentially leading to better biofuel sources. The scientists are particularly interested in the signaling that leads to cell growth and development.
