- Abstract
The article presents a study on the genotypic variations in the non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) and cell-wall components of rice, sorghum and sugar cane stems. It mentions that the genotypic variations are determined to examine the potential use of such crops for bioethanol production. It notes that rice contains less lignin compared to other crops, which shows high potential for the efficient saccharification of cellulose.
