Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Substitution of fossil fuel with biofuel produced from crop biomass has the prospect to hugely contribute to meeting rising energy demands and mitigating air pollution. Current research interventions for biofuel production are focused on transforming plant biomass into alternate nonrenewable liquid fuels. The foremost constraints for biofuel production include lack of domestication of biofuel crops, limited oil yield from crop plants, and recalcitrance of lignocellulose breakdown by a chemical and enzymatic process. Scientists are exploiting the genetic and genomic resources available for crop improvement, elucidating the gene cascades for lipid metabolism to manipulate fatty acid metabolic pathways and explicate plant cell walls synthesis and assemblage. None of the present and probable crops have been domesticated or bred for higher polysaccharides or oil recovery for biofuel production. Due to this reason, biofuel research is targeted towards understanding the genetic architecture of plant biomass traits that need to be improved to optimize crops for efficient biofuel production.
