Bioenergy sorghum stem density increases threefold following internode elongation due to continued accumulation of lignified cell walls and complex regulation of genes involved in cell wall biosynthesis

Abstract Bioenergy sorghum is a highly productive drought tolerant C4 grass that accumulates ~ 80% of its harvested biomass in ~ 4 m long stems comprised of > 40 internodes that develop sequentially during an extended vegetative growth phase. Following elongation of each internode, internode dens...
