Fuels have been converted from a wide range of sources from vegetable oils to grains and sugarcane. Second generation biofuels are being developed around dedicated, non-food energy crops, such as switchgrass and Miscanthus, with an eye toward bioenergy sustainability.  \u003ci\u003eBioenergy Feedstocks: Breeding and Genetics\u003c\/i\u003e looks at advances in our understanding of the genetics and breeding practices across this diverse range of crops and provides readers with a valuable tool to improve cultivars and increase energy crop yields.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBioenergy Feedstocks: Breeding and Genetics\u003c\/i\u003e opens with chapters focusing primarily on advances in the genetics and molecular biology of dedicated energy crops. These chapters provide in-depth coverage of new, high-potential feedstocks. The remaining chapters provide valuable overview of breeding efforts of current feedstocks with specific attention paid to the development of bioenergy traits. Coverage in these chapters includes crops such as sorghum, energy canes, corn, and other grasses and forages.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe final chapters explore the role of transgenics in bioenergy feedstock production and the development of low-input strategies for producing bioenergy crops. A timely collection of work from a global team of bioenergy researchers and crop scientists, \u003ci\u003eBioenergy Feedstocks: Breeding and Genetics\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential reference on cultivar improvement of biomass feedstock crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMalay C.
