Multipurpose hemp for industrial bioproducts and biomass (MULTIHEMP)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2017,
Hemp is a sustainable high yielding crop well adapted to most European conditions, with advantageous environmental and agronomical characteristics. Traditionally cultivated for the fibres, seeds and psychoactive substances, it is now considered an ideal crop to produce innovative biomaterials. Once a key industrial crop for fibre, hemp production declined in the last century and was displaced by c ...

Optimizing Miscanthus Biomass Production - OPTIMISC (OPTIMISC)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
Miscanthus is a C4 perennial rhizomatous grass that has become a leading candidate crop for production of lignocellulosic feedstocks due to its rapid biomass accumulation in temperate climates. There is currently a single commercial clone, M. x giganteus, which has a number of limitations. Research over the past 20 years has shown that a few key species and their interspecific hybrids have a high ...
