An extensive phenotypic analysis of growth under drought of 87 miscanthus genotypes, M.sinensis, M.sacchariflorus and hybrids was carried out to identify drought
tolerance traits. This was accompanied by timecourse analysis of the of the transcriptional response to drought in leaf and root tissue both in intact plants and in explants undergoing polyethylene glycol induced dehydration stress, identifying stages in the transcriptional response to drought and also candidates associated with enhanced drought tolerance.
