Abstract

The increasing global demand for energy, diminishing fossil fuel reserves, and the rise in greenhouse gas emissions created by their use, have fuelled efforts to identify renewable energy sources that are more sustainable and environment friendly. One alternative is to develop plants that are more efficient in utilizing solar energy and converting it into biomass which can be used as feedstock for biofuel production. The development of such improved bioenergy crops requires the use of more advanced biotechnological applications such as proteomics. This chapter will examine the use of proteomics in bioenergy crops in order to find quicker and more effective pathways of modifying them for optimum fuel production.
