Endophytic bacteria in Miscanthus seed: implications for germination, vertical inheritance of endophytes, plant evolution and breeding (2017, background): “These include perenniality, rapid growth, high annual biomass yields with low fertilizer inputs and the ability to grow on low-quality land (Lewandowski et al., 2000, 2003; Heaton et al., 2008).”
A full economic analysis of switchgrass under different scenarios in Italy estimated by BEE model. (2007, background): “Among them, giant reed, miscanthus and switchgrass appeared as the most promising because of the yield levels, environmental attributes and possible economic return to the farmers [7].”
Miscanthus: A fast‐growing crop for environmental remediation and biofuel production (2020, background): “Several outstanding features that render perennial grasses attractive in bioenergy production include higher yield potential, high cellulose content, and positive environmental impacts (Lewandowski et al., 2003).”
Second-Generation Biofuels: Economics and Policies (2010, background): “Given ideal establishment and growing conditions, Thompson et al. (2005) reports dry mass potential yields based on for upland populations as high as 18 to 20 Mg/ha, while yields in lowland forms could reach 23-27 Mg/ha. b) Other Species Miscanthus is a grass native to Asia and a compelling herbaceo”
Biomass yield and energy balance of three perennial crops for energy use in the semi-arid Mediterranean environment (2009, background): “donax reported in the literature after the first or second year is always equal to or higher than 40 t ha 1 of above ground dry matter, sometimes even higher than 50 t ha 1 (Lewandowski et al., 2003).”
The ecology and agronomy of Miscanthus sinensis, a species important to bioenergy crop development, in its native range in Japan: a review (2009, background): “Owing to its C4 photosynthesis (Naidu et al., 2003), low-nutrient requirements (Lewandowski et al., 2003), high water-use efficiency (Clifton-Brown et al., Correspondence: J. Ryan Stewart, tel.”
Life-cycle assessment of net greenhouse-gas flux for bioenergy cropping systems. (2007, background): “Key words: biofuel; carbon sequestration; greenhouse gas (GHG); life-cycle assessment; nitrous oxide.”
Genetics and Reproduction of Common (Phragmites australis) and Giant Reed (Arundo donax) (2010, background): “Additional studies of seed production and viability, directly comparing introduced P. australis with haplotype M populations from Europe, are needed to assess whether or not the fecundity of this invader has increased after establishment in North America.”
A LIDAR-based crop height measurement system for Miscanthus giganteus (2012, background): “One of the crops that holds considerable promise owing to its high yield and low input requirements, is Miscanthus giganteus (MxG) (Jezowski, 2008; Lewandowski et al., 2003; Heaton et al., 2004).”
Molecular evidence for a single genetic clone of invasive Arundo donax in the United States (2008, background): “donax has been cultivated throughout Asia, southern Europe, north Africa, and the Middle East for thousands of years (Perdue, 1958; Zohary, 1962) and has naturalized in the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea (Lewandowski et al., 2003).”
Research Advances in Mechanisms of Turfgrass Tolerance to Abiotic Stresses: From Physiology to Molecular Biology (2014, background): “These species serve many important functions, including food for livestock, bioenergy, fiber products, soil and water improvement and conservation, habitats for wildlife populations, recreation, and beautification (Heath and Kaiser, 1985; Lewandowski et al., 2003).”
