| Abstract | Biomass recalcitrance is a major bottleneck in the development of an economically viable process to convert woody biomass into fuels and other valuable chemicals. Selective breeding of trees with low recalcitrance toward biofuel conversion could help significantly reduce the cost of biofuel production, but such efforts would require a greater understanding of the nature of variations in the biomass recalcitrance of softwood species. The complexity of biomass recalcitrance, however, hinders research into determining the viability of breeding programs aimed to improve the recalcitrance of softwoods. In this study, a method was developed to determine biomass recalcitrance at three levels: chemical composition, pretreatment yield, and sugar release from the enzymatic hydrolysis. This method is designed to investigate the biomass recalcitrance variations among different families of Douglas-fir, which is the most abundant and promising softwood species for biofuel production in the Pacific Northwest region. Wood samples from 150 plantation-grown trees were collected and analyzed to test the method and the applicability of the parameters screened. The relationships between these levels are discussed to determine the best method for screening large D. fir populations. A parameter, a biomass recalcitrance factor, was introduced to quantify the level of biomass recalcitrance toward sugar production from different D. fir trees. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
