Large scale genome identification of CAZymes families involved in Xylan Mannan and degradation

Given the escalating energy demands and the increasing imperative to transition to sustainable energy sources, Brazil emerges as an important country in the production of bioenergy derived from the degradation of carbohydrates in plant material.

Sugarcane Genomics and Transcriptomics Resources

Sugarcane is a widely cultivated plant within Poaceae, which fixates CO2 via C4 photosynthesis. Sugarcane is one of the most important crops around the world, as it is the main source for common sugar, bioenergy and other bioproducts.
