(Roseberg, 1996). In the late 1950s and early 1960s the USDA analyzed many plant species in search of novel chemical compounds. They first recognized...
The recent increase in energy prices and political instability in the Middle East has sparked renewed interest in alternative energy sources and technologies both locally and nationally. As described in our other studies (Roseberg et al., 2007; Roseberg and Shuck, 2008a and 2008b), we have begun testing the agronomic requirements...
