C4 perennial bioenergy grasses are an economically and ecologically important group
whose responses to climate change will be important to the future bioeconomy. These …

Miscanthus is a perennial wild grass that is of global importance for paper production,
roofing, horticultural plantings, and an emerging highly productive temperate biomass crop …

Genetic improvement through breeding is one of the key approaches to increasing biomass
supply. This paper documents the breeding progress to date for four perennial biomass …

Natural hybridisation is now recognised as pervasive in its occurrence across the Tree of
Life. Resurgent interest in natural hybridisation fuelled by developments in genomics has …

Miscanthus, a member of the Saccharinae subtribe that includes sorghum and sugarcane,
has been widely studied as a feedstock for cellulosic biofuel production. Here, we report the …

Miscanthus is a perennial grass with potential for lignocellulosic ethanol production. To
ensure its utility for this purpose, breeding efforts should focus on increasing genetic …

Miscanthus is a high‐yielding bioenergy crop that is broadly adapted to temperate and
tropical environments. Commercial cultivation of Miscanthus is predominantly limited to a …

Abstract Background and Aims Bioenergy crops are central to climate mitigation strategies
that utilize biogenic carbon, such as BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) …

Accelerating biomass improvement is a major goal of Miscanthus breeding. The
development and implementation of genomic‐enabled breeding tools, like marker‐assisted …

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) describes multivariate correlations in leaf structural,
physiological and chemical traits, originally based on diverse C3 species grown under …
