Manifestation of Triploid Heterosis in the Root System after Crossing Diploid and Autotetraploid Energy Willow Plants. Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:1929. [PMID: 37895278 PMCID: PMC10606394 DOI: 10.3390/genes14101929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Successful use of woody species in reducing climatic and environmental risks of energy shortage and spreading pollution requires deeper understanding of the physiological functions controlling biomass productivity and phytoremediation efficiency. Targets in the breeding of energy willow include the size and the functionality of the root system. For the combination of polyploidy and heterosis, we have generated triploid hybrids (THs) of energy willow by crossing autotetraploid willow plants with leading cultivars (Tordis and Inger). These novel Salix genotypes (TH3/12, TH17/17, TH21/2) have provided a unique experimental material for characterization of Mid-Parent Heterosis (MPH) in various root traits. Using a root phenotyping platform, we detected heterosis (TH3/12: MPH 43.99%; TH21/2: MPH 26.93%) in the size of the root system in soil. Triploid heterosis was also recorded in the fresh root weights, but it was less pronounced (MPH%: 9.63-19.31). In agreement with root growth characteristics in soil, the TH3/12 hybrids showed considerable heterosis (MPH: 70.08%) under in vitro conditions. Confocal microscopy-based imaging and quantitative analysis of root parenchyma cells at the division-elongation transition zone showed increased average cell diameter as a sign of cellular heterosis in plants from TH17/17 and TH21/2 triploid lines. Analysis of the hormonal background revealed that the auxin level was seven times higher than the total cytokinin contents in root tips of parental Tordis plants. In triploid hybrids, the auxin-cytokinin ratios were considerably reduced in TH3/12 and TH17/17 roots. In particular, the contents of cytokinin precursor, such as isopentenyl adenosine monophosphate, were elevated in all three triploid hybrids. Heterosis was also recorded in the amounts of active gibberellin precursor, GA19, in roots of TH3/12 plants. The presented experimental findings highlight the physiological basics of triploid heterosis in energy willow roots.

Abstract
This study investigated hydropyrolysis and subsequent vapor-phase hydrotreatment over a NiAl2O4 catalyst to produce biomethane (CH4) from pine sawdust. The non-catalytic pressurized hydropyrolysis generated tar, CO2, and CO as the primary products. However, using a NiAl2O4 catalyst in the second-stage reactor significantly increased the formation of CH4 and reduced CO and CO2 in gas products. The catalyst also fully converted tar intermediates to produce CH4, resulting in a maximum carbon yield of 77.7% with 97.8% selectivity. The temperature plays a crucial role in CH4 generation, with both its yield and selectivity showing a positive correlation with the reaction temperature. Increasing the reaction pressure from 0.2 to 1.2 MPa notably inhibited the production of CH4, leading to a shift towards cycloalkanes due to a competitive reaction. This tandem approach shows great potential as an innovative technique for producing alternative fuels from biomass wastes.

Optimization of biogas potential using kinetic models, response surface methodology, and instrumental evidence for biodegradation of tannery fleshings during anaerobic digestion. Open Life Sci 2023; 18:20220721. [PMID: 37744453 PMCID: PMC10512448 DOI: 10.1515/biol-2022-0721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The optimization of the batch size experiment was run for a hydraulic retention time of 45 days using proteolytic enzyme pretreatment. The highest amounts of biogas were produced in comparison to conventional BDS (25:75), which is not processed with enzymes, and there was an increase in the biogas generation of 13.9 and 18.57%. The kinetic models show the goodness of fit between 0.993 and 0.998 and the correlation coefficient's value domain was [-1, 1] from a statistical perspective. The Box-Behnken design was carried out using the response surface methodology at different levels of independent parameters to optimize the process. Different instruments were evaluated to determine the chemical structure change and the contamination of the different treatments and the raw sample of tannery fleshings was determined. Thermogravimetric analysis was conducted to determine the loss of weight on thermal degradation. The Fourier transform infrared spectrometry was carried out to determine the different functional groups, such as -OH, -CH, -NH, and C-O, present in the samples of tannery fleshings. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis were carried out to determine the morphological alterations in the substrate, digestate, enzyme-pretreated fleshings, and the chemical composition of samples.

Abstract
Grass is a highly desirable substrate for anaerobic digestion because of its higher biodegradability and biogas/methane yield. In this study, anaerobic co-digestion of grass, cow manure and sludge was studied under mesophilic conditions for 65 days. Experiments were performed on a feed ratio of grass/manure from 5 to 25%, respectively. The maximum cumulative biogas and methane yield was obtained as 331.75 mLbiogas/gVS and 206.64 mLCH4/gVS for 25% ratio. Also, the results of the experiments were tested on the three different kinetics model which are the first order kinetic model, modified Gompertz model and Logistics model. As a result of the study, it was found that by using grass nearly 480 × 106 kWh/year electricity may be produced and 0.5 × 106 tons/year CO2 greenhouse gas emission mitigation may be reached.

Abstract
Decomposition of lignocellulosic plant biomass by four filamentous fungi was carried out to facilitate subsequent anaerobic degradation and biogas formation. Agricultural side products, wheat straw and corn stover and forestry energy plant willow chips were selected as plant biomass sources. The substrates were confronted by pure cultures of Penicillium aurantiogriseum (new isolate from rumen), Trichoderma reesei (DSM768), Gilbertella persicaria (SZMC11086) and Rhizomucor miehei (SZMC11005). In addition to total cellulolytic filter paper degradation activity, the production of endoglucanase, cellobiohydrolase, β-glucosidase enzymes were followed during the pretreatment period, which lasted for 10 days at 37 °C. The products of pretreatments were subsequently tested for mesophilic biogas production in batch reactors. All 4 strains effectively pretreated the lignocellulosic substrates albeit in varying degrees, which was related to the level of the tested hydrolytic enzyme activities. Penicillium aurantiogriseum showed outstanding hydrolytic enzyme production and highest biogas yield from the partially degraded substrates. Corn stover was the best substrate for biomass decomposition and biogas production. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed the deep penetration of fungal hyphae into the lignocellulosic substrate in all cases.

Low Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) Energy Crops to Bioenergy and Biofuels—A Review. ENERGIES 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/en15124348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Energy crops are dedicated cultures directed for biofuels, electricity, and heat production. Due to their tolerance to contaminated lands, they can alleviate and remediate land pollution by the disposal of toxic elements and polymetallic agents. Moreover, these crops are suitable to be exploited in marginal soils (e.g., saline), and, therefore, the risk of land-use conflicts due to competition for food, feed, and fuel is reduced, contributing positively to economic growth, and bringing additional revenue to landowners. Therefore, further study and investment in R&D is required to link energy crops to the implementation of biorefineries. The main objective of this study is to present a review of the potential of selected energy crops for bioenergy and biofuels production, when cultivated in marginal/degraded/contaminated (MDC) soils (not competing with agriculture), contributing to avoiding Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) burdens. The selected energy crops are Cynara cardunculus, Arundo donax, Cannabis sativa, Helianthus tuberosus, Linum usitatissimum, Miscanthus × giganteus, Sorghum bicolor, Panicum virgatum, Acacia dealbata, Pinus pinaster, Paulownia tomentosa, Populus alba, Populus nigra, Salix viminalis, and microalgae cultures. This article is useful for researchers or entrepreneurs who want to know what kind of crops can produce which biofuels in MDC soils.

Abstract
Hybrid vigor and polyploidy are genetic events widely utilized to increase the productivity of crops. Given that bioenergy usage needs to be expanded, we investigated triploid hybrid vigor in terms of the biology of biomass-related willow traits and their relevance to the control of biomethane production. To produce triploid hybrid genotypes, we crossed two female diploid Swedish cultivars (Inger, Tordis) with two male autotetraploid willow (Salix viminalis) variants (PP-E7, PP-E15). Field studies at two locations and in two successive years recorded considerable midparent heterosis (MPH%) in early shoot length that ranged between 11.14 and 68.85% and in the growth rate between 34.12 and 97.18%. The three triploid hybrids (THs) developed larger leaves than their parental cultivars, and the MPH% for their CO2 assimilation rate varied between 0.84 and 25.30%. The impact of hybrid vigor on the concentrations of plant hormones in these TH genotypes reflected essentially different hormonal statuses that depended preferentially on maternal parents. Hybrid vigor was evinced by an elevated concentration of jasmonic acid in shoot meristems of all the three THs (MPH:29.73; 67.08; 91.91%). Heterosis in auxin-type hormones, such as indole-3-acetic acid (MPH:207.49%), phenylacetic acid (MPH:223.51%), and salicylic acid (MPH:27.72%) and benzoic acid (MPH:85.75%), was detectable in the shoots of TH21/2 plants. These hormones also accumulated in their maternal Inger plants. Heterosis in cytokinin-type hormones characterized the shoots of TH3/12 and TH17/17 genotypes having Tordis as their maternal parent. Unexpectedly, we detected abscisic acid as a positive factor in the growth of TH17/17 plants with negative MPH percentages in stomatal conductance and a lower CO2 assimilation rate. During anaerobic digestion, wood raw materials from the triploid willow hybrids that provided positive MPH% in biomethane yield (6.38 and 27.87%) showed negative MPH in their acid detergent lignin contents (from -8.01 to -14.36%). Altogether, these insights into controlling factors of above-ground growth parameters of willow genotypes support the utilization of triploid hybrid vigor in willow breeding to expand the cultivation of short rotation energy trees for renewable energy production.

Estimating the Methane Potential of Energy Crops: An Overview on Types of Data Sources and Their Limitations. Processes (Basel) 2021.

Abstract
As the anaerobic digestion of energy crops and crop residues becomes more widely applied for bioenergy production, planners and operators of biogas plants, and farmers who consider growing such crops, have a need for information on potential biogas and methane yields. A rich body of literature reports methane yields for a variety of such materials. These data have been obtained with different testing methods. This work elaborates an overview on the types of data source available and the methods that are commonly applied to determine the methane yield of an agricultural biomass, with a focus on European crops. Limitations regarding the transferability and generalisation of data are explored, and crop methane values presented across the literature are compared. Large variations were found for reported values, which can only partially be explained by the methods applied. Most notably, the intra-crop variation of methane yield (reported values for a single crop type) was higher than the inter-crop variation (variation between different crops). The pronounced differences in reported methane yields indicate that relying on results from individual assays of candidate materials is a high-risk approach for planning biogas operations, and the ranges of values such as those presented here are essential to provide a robust basis for estimation.

Abstract
Biogas production through co-digestion of second and third generation substrates is an environmentally sustainable approach. Green willow biomass, chicken manure waste and microalgae biomass substrates were combined in the anaerobic digestion experiments. Biochemical methane potential test showed that biogas yields of co-digestions were significantly higher compared to the yield when energy willow was the sole substrate. To scale up the experiment continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSRTs) are employed, digestion parameters are monitored. Furthermore, genome-centric metagenomics approach was employed to gain functional insight into the complex anaerobic decomposing process. This revealed the importance of Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes phyla as major bacterial participants, while Methanomicrobia and Methanobacteria represented the archaeal constituents of the communities. The bacterial phyla were shown to perform the carbohydrate hydrolysis. Among the representatives of long-chain carbohydrate hydrolysing microbes Bin_61: Clostridia is newly identified metagenome assembled genome (MAG) and Bin_13: DTU010 sp900018335 is common and abundant in all CSTRs. Methanogenesis was linked to the slow-growing members of the community, where hydrogenotrophic methanogen species Methanoculleus (Bin_10) and Methanobacterium (Bin_4) predominate. A sensitive balance between H2 producers and consumers was shown to be critical for stable biomethane production and efficient waste biodegradation.
