Just like cornstalks across the Midwest, this crop grows several feet tall as it reaches up to the sky. And similar to soybean cultivation in the last century, annual production of miscanthus is projected to skyrocket to millions of acres by 2050.

Drought stress has long limited crop production worldwide, a problem exacerbated by climate change.
A team led by CABBI Director Andrew Leakey has now designed more efficient C4 bioenergy crops that need less water to grow, without hurting yield.

The study, published in "Plant, Cell & Environment," found that #miscanthus and #sorghum occupy a distinct niche of the leaf economics spectrum (LES), with greater photosynthetic rates and nitrogen use efficiency than more common C3 plants.
