Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sugarcane is a major crop of the tropics cultivated mainly for its high sucrose content. The crop is genetically less explored due to its complex polyploid genome. Sucrose synthesis and accumulation are complex processes influenced by physiological, biochemical and genetic factors, and the growth environment. The recent focus on the crop for fibre and biofuel has led to a renewed interest on...
