Winter Hardiness of Miscanthus sinensis Andersson
Miscanthus sinensis Andersson
A critically important trait for Miscanthus sinensis, determining the survival of this subtropical crop in temperate climate regions. The level of adaptation to sub-zero temperatures directly influences stand density and biomass productivity.
In the reference 13 varieties crop Chinese silver grass, where this is mentioned in the description.
The assessment of winter hardiness is conducted based on USDA plant hardiness zones, where most cultivars belong to zones 5–9; however, breeding lines are capable of withstanding the conditions of zone 4, with temperatures down to -34 °C. In laboratory settings, an electrolyte leakage method from rhizome tissues is applied, and in breeding, specific QTL loci and genes such as COR47, CSDP1, and CEX13, which are responsible for cold tolerance, have been identified.
In the first year of growth, plants are most vulnerable due to incomplete accumulation of nutrients in the rhizomes. Insufficient winter hardiness leads to plant death or thinning of the stands, making the selection of early-flowering forms that complete their vegetation cycle before the onset of cold weather a key factor for success in crop cultivation.
