Biological characteristics

• It is a tall, erect, bushy perennial plant, which has


strongly developed root system. The steam can be up to
7.08 m, but is normally 4-5 m in height and the diameter of
stem is usually 1.5-2.5cm.
• Typical four carbon plants with high photosynthesis
efficiency
1681 g in weight for a single clump

The diameter of stem is 3.15 cm

The average height is 4.43 m


Well-developed root system

In Ulanbuhe desert, Giant Juncao grew for


115 days, with plant height of 2.5 m and 68
tillers. Aboveground and underground fresh
weight were 12.71kg and 11.04kg. The root
penetration depth was 1.2 m.

•The productive mode is mainly asexual reproduction.

•Usually no seeds are produced, but when seeds

are produced, they are mostly abortive.
