Researchers have found that the first step in building new cell walls in plants is the assembly of a scaffold made of structural proteins. This finding could lead to engineered plants that are better materials for biofuels production. Since plant structural proteins can self-assemble, this knowledge may also be useful to the field of nanotechnology.
While sampling blended biodiesel fuels purchased from small-scale retailers, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution found that many of the blends do not contain the advertised amount of biofuel.
