    Abstract
    In most grain crops the leaf and straw is often under-utilized. This biomass is largely plant cell wall, whose heterogeneous composition and recalcitrance limits end uses such as forage or bioenergy. I review the desirable traits for several bioenergy pathways from this biomass and identify traits in biomass that need to be optimized for enzymatic or thermochemical conversion of the biomass to energy. Sufficient variation exists across species and varieties for improving these traits through breeding. I assess variation in cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, ash, total glucose, total xylose, ...
