The search for and collection of Miscanthus sacchariflorus from the Hokuriku Region was carried out in November of 2015, in order to obtain breeding material for biomass production. A total of 11 clones were collected from Toyama, Ishikawa, and Fukui, where natural M. sacchariflorus populations were found at river- and lakesides. In addition, a total of four clones were collected from Gifu, where natural populations were found at river- and roadsides. In Fukui and Gifu, natural populations of M. sacchariflorus were found in mountainous regions at an altitudes above 300 m.
