This study proposes a new multitrait index based on factor analysis and ideotype‐design
(FAI‐BLUP index), and validates its potential on the selection of elephant grass genotypes …

Several perennial grasses have been studied as energetic feedstock due to high
lignocellulosic production, making it an alternative bioenergy source. This is the first study to …

Elephantgrass has been a notable option as bioenergy plant. However, for its bioenergetic
use, the quantification of genetic diversity based on biomass quality traits has not been …

Elephant grass has the potential to be used as a source for energy production. Besides dry
matter yield, other characteristics related to biomass quality are important. The canonic …

Apart from the importance of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) as forage for livestock, it is
useful as a high‐value cellulosic biofuel feedstock. Breeding for a biofuel crop is …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the morpho-agronomic traits of eighty five
accessions of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) from the germplasm bank …

Plant breeders make selection decisions based on multiple traits, such as yield, plant height,
flowering time, and disease resistance. A commonly used approach in multi-trait genomic …

Elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) is native to regions of tropical Africa and
was introduced in Brazil around 1920 through plantings imported from Cuba. It is currently …

Vicia sativa L.(common vetch) is an annual legume species of high economic and ecological
importance which is characterized by high nutritive value for animal feeding and its ability to …

This paper reports an evaluation of eleven oat genotypes in four environments for two
consecutive years to identify high-biomass-yielding, stable, and broadly adapted genotypes …
