Miscanthus x giganteus (Mxg) is a promising second-generation biofuel crop with high production of energetic biomass. Our aim was to determine the level of plant stress of Mxg grown in poor quality soils using non-invasive physiological parameters and to test whether the stress could be reduced by application of plant growth regulators (PGRs). Plant fitness was quantified by measuring of leaf fluorescence using 24 indexes to select the most suitable fluorescence indicators for quantification of this type of abiotic stress. Simultaneously, visible stress signs were observed on stems and leaves and differences in variants were revealed also by microscopy of leaf sections. Leaf fluorescence analysis, visual observation and changes of leaf anatomy revealed significant stress in all studied subjects compared to those cultivated in good quality soil. Besides commonly used Fv/Fm (potential photosynthetic efficiency) and P.I. (performance index), which showed very low sensitivity, we suggest other fluorescence parameters (like dissipation, DIo/RC) for revealing finer differences. We can conclude that measurement of leaf fluorescence is a suitable method for revealing stress affecting Mxg in poor soils. However, none of investigated parameters proved significant positive effect of PGRs on stress reduction. Therefore, direct improvement of soil quality by fertilization should be considered for stress reduction and improving the biomass quality in this type of soils.

“…Therefore, their number is final. However, there were only few data when microscopy research was used for studying of miscanthus leaves [40]. In that study only differences of leaf structure of miscanthus varieties in response to cold were measured and authors did not elaborate any stress factor related to the soil in which the plant grew.…”

“…These cells provide mechanical support, and due to the thick walls, they do not possess living content therefore they are not capable of mitotic division [23], therefore, their number is final. However, there are only a few data when microscopy research was used for studying of miscanthus leaves [24]. In that study, only differences of leaves structure of miscanthus varieties in response to cold, were measured and authors did not elaborate any stress factor related to the soil in which the plant grew.…”

Background: To determine the level of plant stress of second-generation biofuel crop Miscanthus x giganteus ( Mxg ) grown in poor quality post-military soils using physiological parameters; to identify impact of plant growth regulators (PGRs) on the stress reduction and to select the fluorescence indicators most suitable for quantification of stress. Plant fitness was quantified with non-invasive measurement of leaf fluorescence using 16 different indexes. Simultaneously visible stress signs were observed on stems and leaves and differences were revealed by microscopy of leaf sections. Results: Leaf fluorescence analysis, visual observation and changes of leaf anatomy revealed significant stress in all tested subjects . Besides commonly used F v /F m and P.I. (performance index), the fluorescence parameter T fm (time to achieve maximum fluorescence) seems to be rather sensitive and applicable for revealing finer differences. However, none of investigated parameters proved significant positive effect of PGRs on stress reduction. Conclusions: Measuring F v /F m , P.I., and T fm is a suitable method for revealing stress affecting Mxg in poor post-military soils. Since PGRs application did not reduce the stress level, direct application of soil amendments should be considered for stress reduction and improving the biomass quality.
