“…The field trials were conducted in 2008 and 2011 at the Loess Plateau Experimental Station (35°37′ N, 107°48′ E, 1298 m asl) of Lanzhou University in Gansu province, China. The physical and chemical soil properties in 0‐ to 20‐cm layer were reported by Liu et al (2011). The present study was conducted in a semiarid region of the Loess Plateau.…”

“…The good performance of Jerusalem artichoke in Mediterranean (Baldini et al, 2004, 2006), tropical (Pimsaen et al, 2010), and saline areas (Zhao et al, 2009) has already been assessed. Diversity and variability among clone populations were revealed for morphological (Serieys et al, 2010; Liu et al, 2011), biological (Zhao et al, 2009), and productive characteristics (Pimsaen et al, 2010) and ethanol potential (Lelio et al, 2009). Appropriate cultivars with desirable characteristics for biomass source production are important.…”

“…Substantial genetic variation in morphological and agronomic characteristics of 59 Jerusalem artichoke clones collected in China was reported by Liu et al (2011) based on a field study performed in 2008. Twenty‐six clones were selected according to their performance in shoot biomass and tuber yield to be used for a field experiment in 2011.…”

Th is study investigated biomass yield and growth characteristics of 26 Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) clones and assessed it as a bioenergy crop for a semiarid region of the Loess Plateau in China. Genotype, year, and genotype × year interaction contributed to diff erences in crop development, growth characteristics, and biomass yields (dry matter). Generally, biomass yields in 2011 were lower than in 2008, mainly due to a more severe soil moisture defi cit in 2011. Shoot and tuber biomass yields (STBY) ranged from 18.9 to 35.0 Mg ha -1 in 2008 and from 16.1 to 24.8 Mg ha -1 in 2011. Clones HUB-2 and BJ-4 produced the highest shoot biomass yield (SBY), amounting to 31.3 and 25.6 Mg ha -1 , respectively, in the wetter year but higher drought sensitivity. Clones HUN-2, SD-2, and SHH-1 produced the second highest SBY, which varied between 14.3 and 20.1 Mg ha -1 . Clones GZ-1, HEN-1, HUB-1, IM-1, and SX-2 are recommended for tuber production and produced tuber yields >8 Mg ha -1 in both seasons. Clones SD-2 and SHH-1 exhibited drought sensitivity indices <1.00, indicating that they were less sensitive to drought combined with a good yield level. Biplot analysis showed that HUB-2 and BJ-4 were the best performers in STBY and SBY. A combination of physiological traits associated with high STBY and drought tolerance may be most promising for further selection in a breeding program. To make a full assessment under more extreme conditions, we recommend a multiyear experiment at similar locations.Abbreviations: DSI, drought susceptibility index; SBY, shoot biomass yield; STBY, shoot and tuber biomass yield; WP, water productivity.

“…Since then, hundreds of accessions have been added to the plant germplasm collections worldwide [11]. For example, in the U.S., Jerusalem artichoke collections are maintained at the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station at Iowa State Substantial genetic variation among 59 Jerusalem artichoke clones collected in China was reported by Liu et al [12], and the biomass yield and the growth characteristics of 26 Jerusalem artichoke clones were assessed for the semiarid region of the Loess Plateau in China [13]. Recently, Puttha et al [14] reported genetic variability for qualitative and quantitative traits among 79 Jerusalem artichoke accessions, and Sennoi et al [15] evaluated 91 Jerusalem artichoke genotypes related to tolerance to diseases and lesions, days to permanent wilting, plant height, and shoot and root dry weight under greenhouse conditions.…”

Jerusalem artichoke: A sustainable biomass feedstock for biorefinery

a b s t r a c tThe biggest challenge for the production of bulk commodities such as biofuels and bio-based chemicals through biorefinery is to secure low-cost biomass feedstocks on a large scale. Current sugar-and starchbased feedstocks are not sustainable due to their main usage as food or food ingredients for humans. Although lignocellulosic biomass, particularly agricultural residues, is abundantly available, its conversion and utilization are still not economically competitive. One solution is to develop specific energy crops that can grow well on marginal land without competing for arable land with grain production. Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is tolerant to environmental stresses such as drought and salinity as well as plant diseases, and thus is an alternative energy crop. The biomass of Jerusalem artichoke comes mainly from its tubers containing inulin as a major component, which can be hydrolyzed into fermentable sugars without an energy-intensive pretreatment. In this article, genetic resources, cultivar selection and planting of Jerusalem artichoke are reviewed. Compared to other herbaceous energy crops, particularly switchgrass and Miscanthus that have been intensively studied in the United States and Europe, not only can Jerusalem artichoke be used as feedstock for producing biofuels and bio-based chemicals, but also value-added products to make the biorefinery process more economically competitive.
