Öğe C:N Ratio and Its Importance in Developing Effective Bioenergy Crops(Springer Nature Singapore, 2025) Muhammad Ikram; Muhammad Mehran; Asif Minhas; Haseeb ur Rehman; Muhammad Zeeshan Mola Bakash; Muhammad Waseem Khan; Muhammad Mueed Shahbaz Khan; Ayman El Sabagh; Hasnain RasheedSustainable bioenergy production from dedicated crops has garnered considerable attention in recent years as a potential solution to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and meet growing energy demands. The carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio, a fundamental biochemical parameter, plays a pivotal role in the productivity and quality of bioenergy crops. This chapter explores the multifaceted significance of the C:N ratio in bioenergy crop development. Beginning with a comprehensive understanding of the C:N ratio, this chapter delves into its influence on plant biomass production and its subsequent implications for bioenergy conversion processes. We discuss strategies for managing C:N ratios in bioenergy crops, encompassing fertilization, nutrient management, and crop selection. Real-world case studies and research findings illustrate successful C:N ratio management approaches and their practical applications. Environmental considerations are paramount in the cultivation of bioenergy crops, and this chapter evaluates the impact of C:N ratios on soil health, carbon sequestration, and sustainability. Moreover, it addresses the role of policy and regulation in shaping bioenergy crop development, emphasizing the relevance of C:N ratios in policy decisions. Finally, the chapter explores emerging trends and challenges in the field, highlighting future research directions and technological innovations. This comprehensive overview underscores the central importance of the C:N ratio in developing effective bioenergy crops and underscores its potential to contribute to a sustainable energy future.Öğe Carbon Partitioning and Resource Use Efficiency for Enhancing Biofuel Production(Springer Nature Singapore, 2025) Mohammad Sohidul Islam; Ontor Hossain; Moaz Hosen Pramanik; Khandakar Aurib; Md. Kaium Chowdhury; A. S. M. Golam Hafeez; A. K. M. Abdul Bari; Md. Rafiqul Islam; Hakki Akdeniz; Akihiro Ueda; Ayman El SabaghThe global energy landscape is increasingly shifting toward sustainable and renewable energy sources, with biofuels emerging as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. This chapter examines the critical role of carbon partitioning (CP) and resource use efficiency (RUE) in enhancing biofuel production. Carbon partitioning, the process by which plants allocate assimilated carbon to various metabolic pathways and tissues, is pivotal in determining the yield and quality of biofuel feedstocks. Optimizing carbon allocation can significantly increase the proportion of biomass directed toward biofuel precursor compounds, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lipids. Moreover, the efficiency of resource use, particularly light, water, and nutrients, is essential for maximizing biomass production in a sustainable manner. Advances in genetic engineering and crop management practices have shown promise in improving both CP and RUE. Techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing and the development of transgenic crops have enabled precise manipulation of metabolic pathways to enhance biofuel precursor accumulation. Additionally, agronomic practices, including optimized irrigation and fertilization regimes, can further augment biomass yield and quality. This chapter also explores the potential of integrating multi-omics techniques, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms governing CP and RUE. These insights can inform the development of next-generation biofuel crops with superior performance under diverse environmental conditions. Furthermore, we explore the financial feasibility and ecological impact of biofuel production in light of these advancements, emphasizing that enhancing CP and RUE presents a promising strategy for optimizing biofuel yield and sustainability. Future research should focus on the integration of advanced biotechnological tools and sustainable agronomic practices to achieve high-yielding, resource-efficient biofuel feedstock.
