“…Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is a C3 crop species, has high vitality and can adapt to unfriendly environmental conditions (Monti et al, 2005;Ma et al, 2011;Matías et al, 2013). Jerusalem artichoke has been accepted as a good raw material for ethanol production, human diet and medical applications (Kaur and Gupta, 2002;Szambelan et al, 2004;Takeuchi and Nagashima, 2011;Chen et al, 2013;Jin et al, 2013), because the tuber is rich in fructose and inuline (Baldini et al, 2004;Saengthongpinit and Saijaanantakul, 2005).…”

a b s t r a c tIn order to explore the response of photosynthetic electron transport chain to heat stress, chlorophyll a fluorescence and modulated 820 nm reflection transients were examined in the leaves of Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.). J step was elevated at 43• C, suggesting that electron transport beyond primary quinone electron acceptor of photosystem II (Q A ) was inhibited. I step was elevated at 45• C due to the lowered plastoquinol re-oxidation rate. Significant decrease in the Q A reducing reaction centers per photosystem II (PSII) antenna chlorophyll and marked increase in relative variable fluorescence intensity at 300 s also occurred at 45• C, indicating that the electron transport chain from PSII donor side to Q A was injured. Overall, the fragment between Q A and plastoquinol is the most susceptible to heat in the electron transport chain before photosystem I (PSI). The maximal photochemical capacity of PSI was not affected by heat stress even at 48• C, and the interaction between PSII and PSI become unbalanced, when temperature rose to 45• C. At 45 • C, prolonged PSI oxidation occurred in the expanding leaves because of the inhibited electron donation from PSII, however, PSI oxidation amplitude decreased in the expanded leaves. We infer that electron transport chain of PSI acceptor side is more sensitive to heat stress than the chain before PSI in the expanded leaves. Therefore, electrons in PSI reaction center could not be efficiently drained to the downstream at high temperature, and then PSI oxidation was blocked.

“…The inulin DP was much higher in the autumn juice (10.8) than in the winter ones (4.6). It is well known that there is a gradual decrease in the average DP during the ageing of tubers due to a natural depolymerisation of inulin (Matías et al, 2013;Schorr-Galindo and Guiraud, 1997;Soja et al, 1990;Chabbert et al, 1983). On the contrary, total sugar content was similar in both types of juice (Table 1).…”

“…It is, then, a promising energy crop for sustainable ethanol production (Matías et al, 2011). The clone of JA called "Nahodka" has been reported to provide high sugar and biomass yield (Matías et al, 2013;Curt et al, 2006;González et al, 2004;Conde et al, 1991). The main storage carbohydrate of Jerusalem artichoke (JA) is inulin, which is a polydisperse β (2-1) fructan, mainly a mixture of two linear fructan oligosaccharides (FOS), one with a terminal sucrose (GFn) and the other with a fructopyranose (Fm) (Bruggink et al, 2005).…”

a b s t r a c tThe biggest challenge for the production of bulk commodities such as biofuels and bio-based chemicals through biorefinery is to secure low-cost biomass feedstocks on a large scale. Current sugar-and starchbased feedstocks are not sustainable due to their main usage as food or food ingredients for humans. Although lignocellulosic biomass, particularly agricultural residues, is abundantly available, its conversion and utilization are still not economically competitive. One solution is to develop specific energy crops that can grow well on marginal land without competing for arable land with grain production. Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is tolerant to environmental stresses such as drought and salinity as well as plant diseases, and thus is an alternative energy crop. The biomass of Jerusalem artichoke comes mainly from its tubers containing inulin as a major component, which can be hydrolyzed into fermentable sugars without an energy-intensive pretreatment. In this article, genetic resources, cultivar selection and planting of Jerusalem artichoke are reviewed. Compared to other herbaceous energy crops, particularly switchgrass and Miscanthus that have been intensively studied in the United States and Europe, not only can Jerusalem artichoke be used as feedstock for producing biofuels and bio-based chemicals, but also value-added products to make the biorefinery process more economically competitive.
