The invention provides for compressed compositions, such as pellets and lick tubs, wherein the compressed composition comprises 30% to 60% by weight DDGS; 30% to 60% by weight sorghum; and 1% to 10% by weight oil, wherein the sum of the DDGS and the sorghum do not exceed 99% by weight. Furthermore, methods of making such compressed compositions are disclosed, as our methods of providing a service and reducing mycotoxins in DDGS used in such compressed compositions. The compressed compositions are made by subjecting the mixture to approximately 200 °F and either extruding the mixture to make a pellet, or subjecting the mixture in a vessel to a pressure exceeding at least 2000 psi for 15-20 minutes.
The invention provides novel methods and compositions directed to farnesol production, accumulationm and cellular sequesteration in plants. More specifically, the methods of the invention comprise modifying plant cells that express farnesene to convert the farnesene to farnesol, and in some cases, to farnesol glycoside, such as farnesol glucoside. In other embodiments, carbon flux is shunted towards sesquiterpene production by applying certain plant growth regulators and herbicides to increase sesquiterpene production.
The disclosed invention provides methods and compositions for increasing terpenoid production, such as sesquiterpenoids, such as farnesene, in plant cells.
