Collecting wild Miscanthus germplasm and research partners in Asia
While collecting plant material for crop breeding, a team from Aberystwyth University also thought hard about the human side of their work.
Morphological and physiological traits determine Arundo drought recovery
Arundo donax often reproduces clonally, but a new study finds small differences can affect how it recovers from drought stress.

Growing biofuels in marginal land
A problem with growing biofuels is that they can take land needed for food. What happens when you start growing biofuels on marginal land where food crops are not possible?
Joint linkage and association mapping of complex traits in shrub willow
Increasing energy demands and the necessity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are key motivating factors driving the development of lignocellulosic crops as an alternative to non-renewable energy sources. The effects...
Creative Destruction: How Death Leads to Function
Marcos Buckeridge explains how death and destruction in sugarcane roots can lead to the development of gas spaces, which improve root function.

Past climate change and population structure of Miscanthus
Miscanthus ornamental cultivars originate almost exclusively from southern Japan, & many marketed as M. sinensis have hybrid ancestry from M. sacchariflorus
Hot one day, cold the next
The bioenergy grass Miscanthus × giganteus exhibits a superior tolerance to chilling shock compared with the other genotypes.
