Identification of Populations by ISSR Markers and a Histochemical Determination of Transient Starch in Species of the Genus Miscanthus Anderss

Review of Current Prospects for Using Miscanthus-Based Polymers

“…Among the plants that satisfy these requirements is the perennial plant Miscanthus. Miscanthus is characterized by the solar energy conversion type called C4 photosynthesis, which has a higher fixation of CO 2 compared to C3 plants [20,21]-that is to say, as Miscanthus grows, it absorbs more carbon dioxide from the environment, thereby considerably reducing the CO 2 level in the atmosphere. What requirements should a plant meet for its biomass to be viewed as the alternative feedstock for the abatement of our carbon footprint?…”

“…It grows on marginal lands It requires no special agronomical practices It remediates soils It is a non-invasive crop [26][27][28][29] tosynthesis It fixates much of СО2 as it grows when compared to С3 photosynthesis [20,21,30] cal composition 50% cellulose 20% lignin 20% hemicelluloses [12,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] -negative crop It fixates more СО2 during photosynthesis than it releases when converted It builds up the same biomass volume in the underground part as in the aboveground part [30] The essential merit of Miscanthus is its high cellulose content ranging from 36 to 55%, according to different data [12,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Moreover, the Miscanthus biomass contains valuable constituents, such as hemicelluloses and lignin (Figure 2).…”
