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.
