Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sucrose accumulation is a key agronomic trait of sugarcane, a primary sucrose-producing crop. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the performance differences between high- and low-sucrose genotypes remain unclear. In this study, two high-sucrose genotypes (YZ08-1609, YZ05-51) and one low-sucrose genotype (CP79-318) were used as materials to systematically analyze the dynamic transcriptional...
