Title: Can chilling tolerance of C 4 photosynthesis in Miscanthus be transferred to sugarcane?

Abstract

Abstract The goal of this study was to investigate whether chilling tolerance of C 4 photosynthesis in Miscanthus can be transferred to sugarcane by hybridization. Net leaf CO 2 uptake ( A sat ) and the maximum operating efficiency of photosystem II ( Ф PSII ) were measured in warm conditions (25 °C/20 °C), and then during and following a chilling treatment of 10 °C/5 °C for 11 day in controlled environment chambers. Two of three hybrids (miscanes), ‘ US 84‐1058’ and ‘ US 87‐1019’, did not differ significantly from the chilling tolerant M . × giganteus ‘Illinois’ (Mxg), for A sat , and Φ PSII measured during chilling. For Mxg grown at 10 °C/5 °C for 11 days, A sat was 4.4  μ mol m −2 s −1 , while for miscane ‘ US 84‐1058’ and ‘ US 87‐1019’, A sat was 5.7 and 3.5  μ mol m −2 s −1 , respectively. Miscanes ‘ US 84‐1058’ and ‘ US 87‐1019’ and Mxg had significantly higher rates of A sat during chilling than three tested sugarcanes. A third miscane showed lower rates than Mxg during chilling, but recovered to higher rates than sugarcane upon return to warm conditions. Chilling tolerance of ‘ US 84‐1058’ was further confirmedmore » under autumn field conditions in southern Illinois. The selected chilling tolerant miscanes have particular value for biomass feedstock and biofuel production and at the same time they can be a starting point for extending sugarcane's range to colder climates.« less
