ScienceDaily: New genetic tools have identified links between early establishment traits and biomass yield in Miscanthus. This marker-assisted selection technique could save years of waiting for Miscanthus plants to establish and become mature. The technique can be used to reliably select higher-yielding plants earlier in the Miscanthus life cycle. The U.S. government has mandated a rise in domestic ethanol production from cellulosic bioenergy crops, spurring research to identify and improve high-yielding biomass...
