Differential expression of starch and sucrose metabolic genes linked to varying biomass yield in Miscanthus hybrids

Abstract Background Miscanthus is a commercial lignocellulosic biomass crop owing to its high biomass productivity and low chemical input requirements. Within an interspecific Miscanthus cross, progeny with high biomass yield were shown to have low concentrations of starch and sucrose but high conce...
