Among the major challenges facing society today, seeking renewable
alternatives to petroleum-based fuels and manufactured goods is
critically important to reducing society's dependency on petroleum
and tackling environmental issues associated with petroleum use. In
recent years there has been considerable research targeted toward
the development of plant-derived bioproducts to replace
petrochemical feedstocks for both fuel and manufacturing. Plants
not only provide a large amount of renewable biomass, but their
biochemical diversity also offers many chemical and molecular tools
for the production of new products through biotechnology. Plant
Bioproducts is an introduction to the production and application of
plant bioproducts, including biofuels, bioplastics, and
biochemicals for the manufacturing sector. Contributing authors
examine various bioproducts with respect to their basic chemistry,
relationship to current petrochemical-based products, and
strategies for their production in plants. Chapters cover the
integrated roles of agronomy, plant breeding, biotechnology, and
biorefining in the context of bioproduct development.
Environmental, economic, ethical, and social issues surrounding
bioproducts, including the use of genetically modified crops,
challenges to food security, and consumer acceptance, are also
covered.
