Worldwide Genetic Diversity of the Wild Species Saccharum spontaneum and Level of Diversity Captured within Sugarcane Breeding Programs

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is grown in tropical and subtropical regions of the world and produces 80% of the world's sucrose primarily for human consumption but is increasingly used as a feedstock for biofuel. Commercial cultivars are hybrids between two species, Saccharum officinarum L. and S. spontaneum L. Saccharum spontaneum is the wild species with generally low sucrose levels and is used to introgress traits...
