Background brief:

Miscanthus has the advantages of high light efficiency, high stress resistance, high fiber, low investment, fast growth, adaptation to marginal land, fewer diseases and insect pests, and high water utilization efficiency. my country can develop marginal land to 136 million hectares. If half of the land can be used, liquid fuel equivalent to 400 million tons of standard coal or 100 million tons of oil equivalent can be produced every year, which has very considerable economic benefits.

Economic benefits:

Through the implementation of this project, we will develop and utilize my country's marginal land and establish a sustainable bioenergy system, with huge economic and social benefits.                        

Technology and Applications:

The project has established a salt-alkali-tolerant energy Miscanthus germplasm bank covering major saline-alkali lands in my country. Radiation mutation has screened 30 new saline-alkali-tolerant Miscanthus germplasm, and has unearthed and identified 30 genes involved in the regulation of cellulose biosynthesis and salt resistance of Miscanthus., large-scale planting demonstrations of saline-alkali lands in Changyi, Dongying and other places
