Five elephant grass cultivars, Pennisetum purpureum, cv. Huanan （Huanan）, P. purpureum, cv. N51 （N51）, P. purpureum, cv.

N51 （N51）, P. purpureum, cv. Sumu No. 2 （Sumu-2）, （ Penniseturn americanum x P. purpureum ） x P. purpureum cv. Guimu No. 1 （Guimu-1） and P. americanum cv. Tift23A x P. purpureum cv. Tilt NS1 （Hybrid Pennisetum）, at three harvest stages were studied. With dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis, it is found that cel- lulose conversion of the five elephant grass cultivars harvested in August and September is higher than that har- vested in October. The cellulose conversion for elephant grass cultivars harvested in August and September follows an order of Hybrid Pennisetum 〉 Sumu-2 〉 Huanan 〉 Guimu-1 〉 N51. This may be explained by the fact that lignification is gradually strengthened with time, inhibiting degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose. Moreover, cellulose conversions of Hybrid Pennisetum, Sumu-2 and Huanan harvested in August and September are higher based on hierarchical clustering results.展开更多
