Abstract excerpt
Sugarcane is the main source of sugar worldwide, and 80% of the sucrose production comes from sugarcane. However, the genetic differentiation and basis of agronomic traits remain obscure. Here, we sequenced the whole-genome of 219 elite worldwide sugarcane cultivar accessions. A total of approximately 6 million high-quality genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected. A genome-wide...
