Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Miscanthus named ‘MBS 0006’ generally characterized by its rigorous growth rate, high biomass yield and high tiller density, and/or improved cold tolerance.

Description

Latin name of genus: Miscanthus.
Varietal denomination: ‘MBS 0006’, a.k.a. ‘99m0029’, ‘99m0006’ or ‘Flamingo Rest’.
BACKGROUND
The present disclosure relates to a new and distinct cultivar of hybrid Miscanthus originated as a polycross of Miscanthus sinensis with other Miscanthus species and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name ‘MBS 0006’. ‘MBS 0006’ represents a new cultivar of Miscanthus species, a perennial grass which is grown for biomass production, landscape use, ornamental value, and cold tolerance.
Seeds of an open-pollinated Miscanthus sinensis plant in a natural Miscanthus habitat at Shirakawa-Gun, Honshu, Japan were planted and screened in a cultivated selection field at Klein-Wanzleben, Germany. The selection field was utilized for seed increase of superior genotypes derived from the original plant selection. Additional recurrent selection in the newly derived, finite population was utilized to derive additional selection pressure for line improvement.
Miscanthus sinensis is self incompatible. Presumably, the Miscanthus sinensis plant in the natural habitat in Japan became pollinated by other Miscanthus plants, hence it could be regarded as a polycross of M. sinensis plants. Therefore, its continued lineage/pedigree was derived from seed collected on this plant selection. The open pollinated seed from the population plant selection was a bulk collection of half-sib lines (genotypes) from that mother plant, and were planted for advanced recurrent selection in an organized Miscanthus sinensis breeding nursery at Klein Wanzleben, Germany. The isolated poly-cross population (‘114SW’) at Klein Wanzleben produced seed on various high performing biomass types. Seed collected from this population was named ‘95s0043’ and was again planted at Klein Wanzlchlen for recurrent selection and advancement of improved biomass clonal lines. From this population an individual plant was selected for vigorous growth, high biomass and cold tolerance potential. The accession was named ‘99m0029’, a.k.a. ‘MBS 0006’, ‘99m0006’, or ‘Flamingo Rest’.
The plant was asexually reproduced from sterile rhizome buds in Klein-Wanzleben, Germany by the inventor. The shoot material was propagated on rooting media and the rooted plantlets were planted into pots in the greenhouse. The plants were planted into the field after one cold period. The characteristics of this cultivar have been determined to be stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations. ‘MBS 0006’ was transferred to US via APHIS quarantine inspection regulations and was established for performance trials in the US. ‘MBS 0006’ performance trials include biomass yield and trait characteristic observations. ‘MBS 0006’ has been evaluated in mutli-entry, replicated performance trials. These trials ranged across three diverse US locations targeted as US biomass growing regions of the country.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar ‘MBS 0006’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in temperature, day-length, light intensity, soil types, and water and fertility levels without, however, any significant variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined the basic characteristics of ‘MBS 0006’, which in combination distinguish this Miscanthus sinensis hybrid from the known Miscanthus×giganteus and other ornamental M. sinensis forms. Plants for the botanical measurements in the present application are two and three-year-old plants. These plants would be considered as mature plants.
    • 1. Vigorous growth
    • 2. Plant height: approximately 3 m at or above 35 deg N latitude and about 2.5 m at or below 35 deg Northern latitude.
    • 3. Green leaves, no colored stripes are present, but green leaves have a creamy white leaf mid rib characteristic of M. sinensis biomass genotypes.
    • 4. High biomass yield compared to several Miscanthus cultivars.
    • 5. High culm thickness.
    • 6. Excellent area of adaptation for both warm and cold climates of biomass growing regions.
‘MBS 0006’ can be distinguished from the Miscanthus cultivars Strictus (not patented), Super Stripe (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,161), Gold Bar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,193), Little Zebra (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,008) and Mysterious Maiden (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,197) in that ‘MBS 0006’ has no stripes or colored bands on its leaves.
In side by side comparisons conducted in Klein-Wanzleben, Germany, ‘MBS 0006’ is more vigorous than other ornamental M. sinensis. ‘MBS 0006’ has taller culms but demonstrates less lodging; hence it has stronger culms. ‘MBS 0006’ culms are also very straight and medium upright in appearance when compared to other sinensis genotypes. It shows excellent winter survival at all northern and southern locations tested.
The plant flowers and produces fertile seeds. ‘MBS 0006’ develops inflorescences and viable seeds under optimal growing conditions. However, ‘MBS 0006’ is 98% self incompatible. Therefore, it requires cross pollination with different Miscanthus genotypes to produce viable seeds. The plant can be propagated by rhizomes or from meristem in tissue culture or adventitious root and shoot development under ideal vegetative propagation environments.

 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
‘MBS 0006’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions, and the phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment. It has been observed under several environmental conditions, including mid, central and southern regions of the US and Klein Wanzleben, Germany. The following observations, measurements, and comparison describe this plant as grown at Klein-Wanzleben, Germany, when grown in the field. All observations were recorded during the plant's dormant season (April). The color determination is in accordance with The 1995 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants for the botanical measurements in the present application are two and three-year-old plants. These plants would be considered as mature plants.
Additional and most relevant performance data included in this application includes observations, measurements and comparisons describing this plant that were recorded in fields grown at Tilton, Ga., Schocho, Ky., and Lafayette, Ind. Reported data exemplifies this genotype's ability to perform as a high biomass producing perennial crop for commercial markets. Therefore, beyond descriptive data, yield traits are presented and compared to commercial and pre-commercial cultivars associated with this market.

REPRODUCTION
‘MBS 0006’ has a small elliptical seed, which is a heavy anemochore with an average seed weight of about 0.92 mg, a chamaephyte (buds permanently above ground) life form, with an annual seed production of 0-2400 seeds per plant depending upon pollen source availability. Healthy seed is clear amber to dark brown (RHS code 166B).
YIELD
The average yield of ‘MBS 0006’ compared to appropriate commercial and pre-commercial check cultivars are summarized in Tables 1 through 4.
Variety comparisons were selected for this patent application based on commercial and pre-commercial genotypes with similar and competitive yields levels and uniqueness to sister lines of similar family. Comparison to M. sinensis cultivars that are commercially available are only used in reference to morphological phenotype because available cultivars are not biomass types of varieties.
Although ‘MBS 0006’ was not the highest biomass yielder across or within locations it was always in the top 10% of the full trial analysis. In the truncated analysis which included entries of relevance for biomass comparisons ‘MBS 0006’ was competitive with the best pre-commercial MBI cultivars, and out-performed all of the most competitive sinensis lines. A key biomass trait is culm thickness and ‘MBS 0006’ has a significantly thicker culm than the other entries in the test. This trait is important in that it can bring value to biomass yield parameters in Miscanthus as well as to its utility in breeding programs.
For Tables 1 to 4, all traits presented were measured at and harvest during winter dormancy growth stage. Definitions for the terms and abbreviations are:
    • 1. Biomass dt/ac: Average post senescence, and dormancy harvest measured in dry tons per acre.
    • 2. PH: Average total plant height measured in cm from soil surface to base of panicle (5 culm subsample per plot).
    • 3. Culm Dia: Average culm diameter measured in mm across mid section of culm
    • 4. Culm Density Rating: 1-5, where 1 refers to the least culm density visually observed relative to the trial entries, and 5 is the highest culm density visually observed relative to trial entries. A rating of 3 represents average and medium culm density relative to trial entries.
    • 5. Biomass Rating: 1-5, where 1 is the least observed biomass appearance relative to trial entries, and 5 is the highest biomass observed relative to trial entries. A rating of 3 represents average and medium biomass relative to trial entries.
