biofuel
Biofuel is a renewable fuel derived from plant biomass or biological waste materials over short timescales, in contrast to fossil fuels formed over geological time. For plant scientists, understanding and optimizing the biochemical pathways that produce oils, starches, and cellulose in plants is central to developing more efficient biofuel feedstocks. Research in this area explores traits like seed oil composition, biomass yield, and stress tolerance to identify or engineer plant varieties better suited for sustainable energy production.
