Candidate Variants for Additive and Interactive Effects on Bioenergy Traits in Switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.) Identified by Genome‐Wide Association Analyses

Switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.) is a promising herbaceous energy crop, but further gains in biomass yield and quality must be achieved to enable a viable bioenergy industry. Developing DNA markers can contribute to such progress, but depiction of genetic bases should be reliable, involving simple additive marker effects and also interactions with genetic backgrounds (e.g., ecotypes) or synergies with other markers. We analyzed plant height, C...
