  1. Improving C4 photosynthetic chilling tolerance in bioenergy crops: the search for elite breeding materials

    … (Saccharum spp.), maize (Zea mays) , miscanthus (Miscanthus spp.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) have been suggested for the production of lignocellulosic biomass for bio-ethanol production. Under optimal conditions these C4 plants produce high biomass …

  2. Strategies to improve C4 photosynthesis, water and resource-use efficiency under different atmospheres, temperatures, and light environments

    … chilling tolerance of the cold-tolerant C4 grass Miscanthus x giganteus is explored, a hybrid between Miscanthus sacchariflorus and Miscanthus sinensis, which maintains photosynthesis even at <14 °C by upregulating expression of key rate-limiting enzymes such as Rubisco and PPDK. Accessions of the …

  3. Characterizing phenotypic diversity, genotype by environment interactions, and optimizing selection efficiency of a miscanthus germplasm collection

    … source of sustainable renewable energy needs. Miscanthus is a largely unimproved crop and current biomass production focuses on a single sterile clonal cultivar of M. ×giganteus. Although highly productive, the sterility and genetic uniformity M. ×giganteus complicates crop improvement. …
