Imperial College researchers use CT scans to see how to boost biofuel yields in trees
Category: Research
In the UK, Imperial College researchers have used medical imaging techniques to explore why making willow trees grow at an angle can vastly improve their biofuel yields. Using micro-CT scans, the team showed that the trees respond to being tilted by producing a sugar-rich, gelatinous fibre, which helps them stay upright.
