Cool Temperature Effects on Productivity and Photosynthesis of Two Biomass Fuel Species: Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and Miscanthus (Miscanthus x giganteus)
… US: switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) cv. Alamo and miscanthus (Miscanthus × giganteus). At 14/12"C and a 14/10 hour light/dark photoperiod, switchgrass showed lower productivity and light saturated photosynthetic rates (Amax=10.3 "mol m-2s-1) compared with 28/25"C and the same photoperiod (Amax=18.8 …

Dissecting key biomass and adaptation traits of Miscanthus through genetic mapping, exploring mechanisms of cold tolerance, and flowering time in Miscanthus and Saccharum
Improving biomass yield is a major goal of Miscanthus breeding. We conducted a study on one interspecific M. sinensis × M. sacchariflorus F1 population and two intraspecific M. sinensis F1 populations, each of which shared a common parent. A field trial was established at Urbana, IL during spring …

Autohydrolysis of Miscanthus X giganteus for the production of xylooligosaccharides
Miscanthus x giganteus (MxG) is considered a potential bioenergy crop due to its high yield and ecological properties. Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are sugar oligomers made of xylose units. Due to their prebiotic functionality and other health promoting effects, XOS can be a value added coproduct for …
