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 …

RNA-SEQ driven analysis of seasonal gene expression variation in miscanthus �� giganteus
Miscanthus × giganteus is a C4 grass that has generated a large amount of interest as a potential biofuel crop due to its high level of biomass production, its perenniality, and its sterility. In this study, two separate M. × giganteus RNA-Seq datasets were generated to help explore the …

Volunteer Establishment of<i> Miscanthus </i>×<i> giganteus</i> Vegetative Propagules: Implications for Biofuel Production
… for production, <i> Miscanthus </i>×<i> giganteus</i> is believed to pose little risk, owing primarily to its putative sterility. Vegetative reproduction however, does not necessarily limit widespread invasion, as seen in giant reed (<i>Arundo donax</i>). In fact, little is known about …

Soil nitrogen pools, forms, and losses in mature miscanthus x giganteus under nitrogen fertilization treatments
Miscanthus x giganteus is temperate climate dedicated energy crop with high biomass yield potential cultivated in the United States and Europe. Previous studies in young stands of Miscanthus x giganteus have shown little effect of nitrogen (N) fertilizer on yield production but have shown increased …
