“…Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) has fallen out of favor as an agricultural crop [23]. Nevertheless, the reintroduction of H. tuberosus has been studied in many countries, particularly in relation to its hardiness and low production costs [24].…”

“…H. tuberosus is of interest as a food for human consumption (including beverage alcohol and beer), and feed and forage for animals [25]. However, H. tuberosus is mainly grown as a potential biomass crop for ethanol production, not only because it commonly yields around 7 and potentially up to 14 tons of carbohydrate per hectare (t ha À1 ) [23], but also because of its numerous industrial uses: Paper pulp or fuelwood from stems, methane production from various plant parts, production of acetone/butanol/ethanol from tubers or whole plants and hydroxymethylfurfural from tubers as a basic molecule for the chemical industry .…”

Research ArticlePhytoremediation of Cadmium-Contaminated Soil by Two Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) Genotypes Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) can be used not just for bioethanol production, bur potentially also for soil phytoremediation via removal of heavy metal pollutants. An experiment was carried out to characterize the phytoextraction efficiency of two Jerusalem artichoke genotype (NY2 and NY5) in cadmium (Cd) contaminated soil. After 90 days of growth, NY5 had greater plant biomass and greater Cd accumulation in tissues than NY2. The chlorophyll content and chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters were slightly higher when plants were grown in Cd-contaminated versus control soil. It implies that this examined NY2 and NY5 can extract more Cd than some hyperaccumulators, indicating that NY2 and NY5 can be applied to clean up Cd-contaminated soils. Compared with NY2, NY5 had higher phytoextraction potential due to more biomass and higher concentrations of Cd in tissues, and may therefore be the better candidates for phytoremediation in Cd-contaminated soil.

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.

“…Varieties with a longer vegetation period have greater water requirements and yields. However, the higher yield potential is only manifested compared with earlier maturing varieties if the tuber development period has good water supplies and if harvesting is carried out as late as possible [1,3,[7][8][9].…”

The dynamics of biomass accumulation during the growing period, the yield of leafy stalks and tubers, and the nutrient concentration and nutrient uptake of the yield were investigated for two Jerusalem artichoke varieties (Tápiói Korai and Tápiói Sima) in a field experiment involving mineral fertilisation. Considerable differences were observed between the dynamics of leafy stalk and tuber development in Tápiói Korai which has a short vegetation period and Tápiói Sima where the vegetation period is long. The maximum dry matter ratio between the tuber yield and the leafy stalk yield was 1:1 for Tápiói Korai and 1:4.5 for Tápiói Sima. During the period when the maximum aboveground biomass developed in Tápiói Korai, 100 kg·ha −1 N and P fertiliser resulted in the highest leafy stalk yield (38.34 t·ha), while for Tápiói Sima, which developed a much greater leafy stalk mass, the highest aboveground biomass yield (78 -80 t·ha , supplemented with P and K fertiliser. The nutrient concentration in the leafy stalks was highest on the 85 th day of the vegetation period, prior to intensive dry matter accumulation in the leafy stalks and before tuber formation began. In both varieties the maximum nutrient uptake was recorded on the 155 th day. Great differences were observed between the varieties in terms of specific nutrient uptake. For a tuber yield of 10 t, together with the corresponding leafy stalk yield, the specific nutrient uptake of the Tápiói Korai variety amounted to 48 kg N, 10 kg P, 83 kg K, 30 kg Ca and 10 kg Mg, while for Tápiói Sima these figures were 162 kg N, 30 kg P, 300 kg K, 84 kg Ca and 45 kg Mg.
