Researchers are exploring whether cup plant could be grown in low, moist prairies generally unfit for cropland.
Project goals include studying genetic variation and developing molecular markers in cup plant populations from the eastern Great Plains; developing new cultivars that can be grown in combination with other biomass crops; determining best practices such as seeding rate, row spacing, harvest timing and nutrient management so that producers will know how to grow the plant; determining life histories of insect pests; and determining biochemical composition.
According to Boe, cup plant, or Silphium perfoliatum, is a member of the sunflower family found in moist low ground in the eastern Great Plains, where it can grow more than 7 feet tall.

Cupuliformis mutants are defective in shoot apical meristem formation, but
cup plants overcome this early barrier to development to reach maturity.
Dart's seven other domestic
cup plants, which have no in-plant scrap processing capabilities, don't plan to add them.
