Comparative analysis of stem carbon partitioning and development in Andropogoneae bioenergy grasses
… in the storage parenchyma. Members of the Andropogoneae tribe display a good example of this versatility in carbon storage. This tribe of grasses is known for their high levels of biomass production and includes many prominent crops such as sorghum, maize, and sugarcane and the emerging …

Systematics and Biogeography of South American Tripsacum
Distribution patterns of the New World Andropogoneae genus Tripsacum (Gramineae) were studied in an effort to trace its origin and evolution. The genus is widely distributed from about 42(DEGREES)N to 24(DEGREES)S latitude in the Americas and islands of the Caribbean. The largest concentration of …

Marker development and genetic diversity in saccharum and miscanthus
… Sates. Sugarcane and Miscanthus belong to the Andropogoneae, a tribe of C4 grasses that are known for their high efficiency of photosynthesis and biomass production. Understanding of the genomes of these two crops is important for finding ways to improve them for agriculture. Both sugarcane and …

Morphology, Molecular Phylogeny and Genome content of Bothriochloa focusing on Australian taxa
The study focuses on the genus Bothriochloa (Andropogoneae, Poaceae) in Australia. Despite morphological features separating this genus from the closely related two genera Capillipedium and Dichanthium, (the three hereafter will be called BCD), De Wet and Harlan introduced the compilospecies …

The differences in grass species composition and the effects on fire behaviour in an African mesic savanna
… differ in productivity and moisture content with Andropogoneae (Themeda triandra and related species) being highly productive , but drying out early after exposure to drought compared to Paniceae (Panicum maximum and related species), which holds moisture for longer in the dry season. This study …

Cytogenetics and genome structure in genus Miscanthus, a potential source of bioenergy feedstocks
Miscanthus (subtribe Saccharinae, tribe Andropogoneae, family Poaceae) is a genus of temperate perennial C4 grasses. Accessions in the genus Miscanthus are potential crop candidates of lignocellulosic biomass for energy production, whose high biomass productivity is attractive as a biofuel …
