Abstract excerpt
Biomass yield is an important target trait in Miscanthus breeding for desirable energy crops. Tiller angle is a key trait of plant architecture because it determines planting density and further influences biomass yield through affecting photosynthesis efficiency. TAC1, a major gene involved in tiller and leaf angle control in rice and maize, respectively, has been extensively studied. Nucleotide variation at...
