Genomic index selection provides a pragmatic framework for setting and refining multi-objective breeding targets in Miscanthus
Miscanthus has potential as a biomass crop but the development of varieties that are consistently superior to the natural hybrid M. × giganteus has been challenging, presumably because of strong G × E interactions and...

A genome-wide association study of wild Miscanthus in the Russian Far East
Miscanthus is a genus of C4 perennial East Asian grasses that is emerging as a leading bioenergy crop. Clark et al. collected germplasm of M. sacchariflorus and M. sinensis in the Russian Far East, at the northern...

Chilling tolerance of C4 photosynthesis in Miscanthus
A study finds relatives of Miscanthus ×giganteus with significantly superior capacity for photosynthesis at chilling temperatures for the first time.
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
