Differences in sugarcane stool branching within Saccharum spontaneum genotypes and compared to Saccharum officinarum and commercial varieties
2021-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Commercial sugarcane varieties are hybrids between Saccharum officinarum, known for its high sucrose content but poor ratooning growth, and Saccharum spontaneum, known for its low sucrose but greater propensity to produce tillers and better disease resistance. While only 20% of the Saccharum hybrid genome originates from S. spontaneum, the genes underlying the ability to produce more tillers over successive harves...
