AB  - Different species and genotypes of Miscanthus were analysed to determine the 
      influence of genotypic variation and harvest time on cell wall composition and 
      the products which may be refined via pyrolysis. Wet chemical, thermo-gravimetric 
      (TGA) and pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) methods were 
      used to identify the main pyrolysis products and determine the extent to which 
      genotypic differences in cell wall composition influence the range and yield of 
      pyrolysis products. Significant genotypic variation in composition was identified 
      between species and genotypes, and a clear relationship was observed between the 
      biomass composition, yields of pyrolysis products, and the composition of the 
      volatile fraction. Results indicated that genotypes other than the commercially 
      cultivated Miscanthus x giganteus may have greater potential for use in 
      bio-refining of fuels and chemicals and several genotypes were identified as 
      excellent candidates for the generation of genetic mapping families and the 
      breeding of new genotypes with improved conversion quality characteristics.
