Switchgrass exhibits wide phenotypic and genotypic diversity, and we explored whether N translocation, fixation, and mineralization vary among cultivars. It does vary, with some varieties fixing N at high rates and also translocating a high percentage of their N. This information can inform selection of switchgrass varieties for biofuels cultivation. Varieties that conserve N do not require N fertilizers, making them more economically and environmentally sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>This research was funded by NSF and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glbrc.org\">Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center<\/a>, which recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glbrc.org\/research\/highlights\/nitrogen-cycling-switchgrass-varieties\">highlighted<\/a> it on their website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently published a paper in Phytobiomes on how N cycling varies among different switchgrass cultivars (doi: 10.1094\/PBIOMES-11-19-0064-FI).
