Genetic Variation in Biomass Traits among 20 Diverse Rice Varieties
Courtney E. Jahn,John K. McKay,Ramil Mauleon,Janice Stephens,Kenneth L. McNally,Daniel R. Bush,Hei Leung,Jan E. Leach +7 more
TL;DR: Analysis of recently resequenced rice varieties for variation in biomass traits at several different developmental stages reveals that rice varieties have achieved high biomass production via independent developmental and physiological pathways, suggesting that there are multiple targets for biomass improvement.

Ash deposition during biomass and coal combustion: A mechanistic approach
TL;DR: In this article, a mechanistic approach to describing the fate of inorganic material in solid fuels with a particular focus on the mechanisms of ash deposition is presented. But this approach has the potential of embracing a large range of fuel variations, combustor types, and operating conditions without the need of developing extensive databases or testing procedures for each new situation.
