Scientists at Liverpool Uni have been investigating a Madagascan plant Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi. They believe that the novel genes found in Kalanchoe could provide a model of how bio-fuel plants could be grown on un-utilised desert and semi-arid lands, rather than on fertile farmland needed for producing food.
