Development and characterization of a Napier grass (Cenchrus purpureus Schumach) mapping population for flowering‐time‐ and biomass‐related traits reveal individuals with exceptional potential and hybrid vigor

Abstract Napier grass is a tropical perennial C4 grass with superior biomass yield and quality. It is an important forage crop and a promising feedstock for lignocellulosic biofuel production. However, precise phenotyping and genotyping data to support the molecular breeding of Napier grass are scar...
