Panicum virgatum, switchgrass, is a perennial grass native to North America. It has a deep root system that uses water efficiently and prevents soil erosion. Department of Energy has therefore chosen switchgrass as a model plant for renewable source of bioenergy.Switchgrass is a warm season grass generally grown for the purposes of grazing and More...soil conservation. It grows as a loose bunch-grass and is largely self incompatible exhibiting cross pollination. There are varying reports about the number of chromosomes and ploidy levels ranging from 2n=18 to 2n=108. Less...
