2020 journal article

Biomass yields, cytogenetics, fertility, and compositional analyses of novel bioenergy grass hybrids (Tripidium spp.)

GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY BIOENERGY, 12(5), 361–373.

By: N. Maren n, D. Touchell n , T. Ranney n , H. Ashrafi  n, M. Whitfield n & M. Chinn n 

author keywords: bioenergy; bioprocessing; Erianthus; fertility; forage; lignocellulose; Miscanthus; plant breeding; polyploidy; reproductive biology; Saccharum; sterility; Tripidium
