27 February 2023 - Method for automated morphological quantification of plant cells

Lignocellulosic biomass is a complex network of polysaccharides and lignin that requires a pretreatment step to overcome recalcitrance and optimize valorisation into biobased products. Pretreatment of biomass induces chemical and morphological changes. Quantification of these changes is critical to understand biomass recalcitrance and to predict lignocellulose reactivity.

11 January 2023 - Literature review on dilute acid pre-treatment of biomass

Pretreatment of biomass is necessary to increase its reactivity. Among the existing pretreatments, dilute acid pretreatment is widely used because of its efficiency. But studies on this pretreatment use very small ranges of conditions and non-standardised methods making common interpretations difficult: it was important to take stock of the published work.

07 July 2022 - Special issue edited in Frontiers in Plants dedicated to biomass recalcitrance

Plant cell walls are complex structures fulfilling a variety of functions throughout a plant's life. They maintain the plant's structural integrity by resisting hydrostatic pressure, and at the same time, provide flexibility to support cell growth and division and a pathological and environmental barrier that defends against stress. Cell walls are therefore recalcitrant towards deconstruction by chemicals, enzymes, and/or microbes, which is a major obstacle for many approaches to processing plant material. An enhanced understanding of the complex interplay of the different cell wall compounds and their contributions to the recalcitrance will lead to more sophisticated strategies to utilize plant biomass in its conversion into materials, chemicals, and fuels.

January 10 2022 - The physiological maturity of the plants from which the crop residues originate impacts N2O emissions during their soil decomposition

The knowledge of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions associated with agricultural practices should advance to improve the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of agriculture. This study examined gaseous emissions during the soil decomposition of crop residues. The results raised a sensitive issue around residues that are still "green" from physiologically immature plants because they are linked to high emitting situations.
