Eucalyptus Forest in Brazil (IMAGE)
Caption
This is an aerial shot of a eucalyptus forest in Brazil. For the US Department of Energy, the energy-rich cellulosic biomass of eucalyptus trees makes them one of the principal candidate biomass energy crops. Genome sequencing is an essential diagnostic tool for understanding the basis of its superior growth properties, attributes that can be propagated to other candidate biofuel feedstock species.
