Sugarcane genetics: Underlying theory and practical application
2024-12-13
Abstract excerpt
Sugarcane is recognized as the fifth largest crop globally, supplying 80% of sugar and 40% of bioenergy production. However, sugarcane genetic research has significantly lagged behind other crops due to its complex genetic background, high ploidy (8–13×), aneuploidy , limited flowering , and a long growth cycle (more than one year). Cross breeding began in 1887 following the discovery that sugarcane seeds could ge...
