M. x giganteus is a hybrid between Miscanthus sacchariflorus and Miscanthus sinensis; therefore chilling-tolerant parent lines might produce hybrids superior to the current clone. Recently a collection of M. sacchariflorus from Siberia, the apparent low temperature limit of natural distribution, became available, which may be a source for chilling tolerance. The collection was screened for chilling tolerance of photosynthesis by measuring dark-adapted maximum quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) on plants in the field in cool weather.

Two experiments assessed: (a) light-saturated net photosynthetic rate (Asat) and operating quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (ΦPSII), (b) response of net leaf CO2 uptake (A) to intercellular [CO2] (ci). Three accessions showed superior chilling tolerance: RU2012-069 and RU2012-114 achieved Asat up to double that of M. x giganteus prior to and during chilling, due to increased ci - saturated photosynthesis (Vmax). RU2012-069 and RU2012-114 also maintained greater levels of ΦPSII during chilling, indicating reduced photodamage. Additionally, accession RU2012-112 maintained a stable Asat throughout the 15-day chilling period, while Asat continuously declined in other accessions; this suggests RU2012-112 could outperform others in lengthy chilling periods. Plants were returned to 25°C after the chilling period; M. x giganteus showed the weakest recovery after 1 day, but a strong recovery after 1 week. This study has therefore identified important genetic resources for the synthesis of improved lines of M. x giganteus, which could facilitate the displacement of fossil fuels by cellulosic bioenergy. {\textcopyright} 2019 The Authors.
