Preliminary quantitative trait loci analysis for biomass traits in Miscanthus sinensis
… investigated and accessions within the genus Miscanthus have been identified as leading contenders in the Midwestern United States due to their high yield and efficiency. The sterile nature of the widely studied M. x giganteus clone precludes crop improvement via traditional breeding methods. …

Ecology and niche characterization of the invasive ornamental grass Miscanthus sinensis
… cultivation of potentially invasive species. Miscanthus sinensis and its sterile daughter species, Miscanthus × giganteus, are two prominent bioenergy feedstock candidates due to their low input requirements and significant biomass production in a broad range of growing conditions. Despite …

Construction and analysis of the miscanthus genespace
Miscanthus and energy cane are closely related perennial grasses and candidate bioenergy crops. Both genomes create a challenge for variant discovery and genotyping because of their abundant repeats and the presence of a genome scale duplication with little subsequent divergence. In addition, the …

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 …

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. …

Understanding the physiological and molecular basis of chilling tolerance across species of the C4 genera Miscanthus and Spartina
… to cooler regions. C4 species of the genera Miscanthus and Spartina have successfully colonized cool temperate and cold climatic regions, with Spartina having the most northerly distribution of any known C4 genus. Within these genera, Miscanthus × giganteus, Miscanthus sinensis and Spartina …
