For the first time, researchers have successfully demonstrated precision gene editing in miscanthus, a promising perennial crop for sustainable bioenergy production. A team at the Center for Advanced ...

Adaptable and easy to grow, miscanthus (or silvergrass) shows great potential as a sustainable bioenergy crop. This productive perennial grass can thrive on marginal lands and requires limited ...

Miscanthus species are bioenergy crops because they require lower nutrient concentrations to achieve more growth. Credit: L. Brian Stauffer Plants often develop communities with microorganisms in ...
