The present study comprehensively compared and evaluated nine agronomic traits (stem/leaf ratio, culm wall thickness, plant height, node number, internode length, stem diameter, plant weight, shoot number, nodal tiller number) and six energy-quality traits (water content, ash content, cellulose content, hemicellulose content, lignin content, net caloric value) of 30 Miscanthus lutarioriparius accessions. The results showed that (1) M. lutarioriparius has a wide genetic variation as expressed by the large coefficient variation (CV) of the above 15 traits of 4.15%~75.02%; (2) these variations we...
