Unraveling candidate genes underlying biomass digestibility in elephant grass (Cenchrus purpureus)

Unraveling candidate genes underlying biomass digestibility in elephant grass (Cenchrus purpureus)

Abstract Background Elephant grass [Cenchrus purpureus (Schumach.) Morrone] is used for bioenergy and animal feed. In order to identify candidate genes that could be exploited for marker-assisted selection in elephant grass, this study aimed to investigate changes in predictive accuracy using genomi...
