Genome-Wide Marker–Trait Analysis of Agronomic and Biomass-Related Traits in an Interspecific Miscanthus F1 Population Grown on Reclaimed Mine Land

Miscanthus is a perennial bioenergy crop suited to marginal and degraded land, yet relatively little is known about the genetic basis of biomass-related variation in interspecific hybrids across years. We evaluated 100 F1 genotypes from Miscanthus sacchariflorus × M. lutarioripar...

Genome-wide association analyses reveal genetic loci associated with cold responses in Miscanthus under non-acclimated and cold-acclimated conditions

Miscanthus species are C4 perennial bioenergy crops with broad environmental adaptability, yet episodic freezing events can constrain establishment and productivity. We evaluated cold-response variation in a 144-accession panel comprising 73 M. sacchariflorus and 71 M. lutariorip...
