Genetic and hormonal regulation of plant height in sugarcane: QTL mapping and functional insights into gibberellin-driven growth
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Plant height is a critical agronomic trait influencing biomass accumulation, lodging resistance, and mechanized harvesting efficiency in sugarcane. However, the genetic and molecular mechanisms regulating height variation remain largely unexplored
Molecular analysis of three sugarcane varieties with in-vitro induced mutations
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The importance of sugarcane and its products in food, paper and ethanol industrieshas led to its continued demand and assurance of returns from these industries has made it a most favored cash crop for cultivation in India. However, salinity is one of the major constraints in sugarcane production in India and worldwide
Morphological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic differences between two sugarcane sister lines with contrasting resistance to orange rust disease
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Sugarcane production in most of the Americas has suffered yield losses from sugarcane orange rust disease (SORD) caused by Puccinia kuehnii for a decade. Developing resistant cultivars is a key breeding goal, but the genetic mechanisms of resistance to SORD remain unclear
Photosynthetic responses of energy cane and sugarcane to ozone
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Ozone (O3) is a toxic air pollutant that impairs plant growth, and its effects on C4 species remain underexplored. We investigated the impact of O3 on leaf gas exchange in energy cane and sugarcane. As energy cane is more resilient to environmental stresses than sugarcane, we hypothesized that energy cane would be more tolerant to O3 than would sugarcane.
ScGID2 regulates gibberellin signaling and stem elongation in sugarcane through interactions with ScGAI and ScASK1
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids) is the leading sugar crop, with stem elongation crucial for yield. We identified ScGID2, an F-box protein from cultivar ROC22, with broad expression in stems and leaves.
SNP variability in the sugarcane caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT): a key gene for lignin biosynthesis
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Lignin is a complex polymer that reduces biomass recalcitrance and limits the use of sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids) for second-generation ethanol production. Among the key genes involved in lignin biosynthesis pathway, caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) impacts on both lignin content and composition.
