Abstract Field trials in Europe with Miscanthus over the past 25 years have demonstrated that interspecies hybrids such as M. × giganteus ( M g ) combine both high yield potentials and low inputs a wide range of soils climates. are expected to play major role provision perennial lignocellulosic biomass across much part lower carbon economy. However, even favourable policies some European countries, uptake has been slow. , sterile clone, can only be propagated vegetatively, which leads...
Miscanthus, a C4 perennial grass native to Eastern Asia, is being bred provide biomass for bioenergy and biorenewable products. Commercial expansion with the clonal hybrid M. × giganteus limited by low multiplication rates, high establishment costs drought sensitivity. These limitations can be overcome breeding more resilient Miscanthus hybrids propagated seed. Naturally occurring fast growing indigenous species are found in diverse environments across Asia. The natural diversity provides...
Abstract Background and Aims Germplasm with diverse, agronomically relevant traits forms the foundation of a successful plant breeding programme. Since 1993, United Nations has been advocating implementation Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) subsequent 2002 Bonn Guidelines as international best practice germplasm collection use. In 2006, European team made an expedition to Asia collect wild Miscanthus, C4 perennial rhizomatous grass, for environmentally adaptable, resilient...
Background and Objective: Pollination bags tents play a crucial role in artificial hybridisation plant breeding.They offer protection against unwanted foreign pollen bird damage provide ambient conditions for hybrid seed development.Methodology: Five hundred sixty four inter-and intra-specific crosses were made Miscanthus using three types of pollination glasshouse isolation chamber experiment 1.Another 16 duraweb® tent under external 2. Data on quantitative traits analysed Z-test analysis...
