Genetic control of sucrose content among unselected progeny populations
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Genetic control references additive and non-additive genetic effects in plants and is used to determine breeding strategy. The objectives were to determine additive and non-additive genetic control for sucrose content and evaluate implications on sugarcane breeding.
Genetic diversity in EEAOC’s germplasm bank and assessment of a core collection
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Understanding the genetic diversity and population structure of sugarcane germplasm banks provides valuable information to produce progenies with maximum variability. To this end, 350 accessions of the EEAOC´s germplasm bank were genotyped at 74,969 biallelic SNP loci using DArT-seq technology.
Genetic understanding of drought tolerance in sugarcane
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Drought tolerance is a desirable breeding characteristic for Colombian sugarcane cultivars, supporting the sustainable development goals of the country's agriculture.
Genetically modified sugarcane in combination with sterile insect releases to control Eldana saccharina: a shade house trial
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025In South Africa, the lepidopteran stem borer Eldana saccharina is one of the most important pests of sugarcane. The cryptic nature of E. saccharina has limited previously used management strategies and has spurred researchers to investigate newer methodsIn South Africa, the lepidopteran stem borer Eldana saccharina is one of the most important pests of sugarcane.

Genome size variation in complex sugarcane parental genotypes in United States sugarcane breeding
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Modern sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) (`~12x) has a very complex genetic blueprint. The genome size (2C DNA) of 61 Saccharum parental genotypes was estimated using flow cytometry, and whether the 2C value is associated with the clone’s fertility traits was tested.
Genome-wide association analysis for the identification of SNPs related to resistance to orange rust, Puccinia kuehnii
Last Updated: junio 17, 2025Orange rust, caused by Puccinia kuehnii, is a significant disease affecting sugarcane production in many countries worldwide. Variation in disease susceptibility among commercial varieties highlights the need for genetic resistance as a primary strategy for disease control.
Genomic insights into new isolates of Acidovorax avenae causing red stripe in northwestern Argentina
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Over the past 15 years, red stripe (RS) has become a major plant disease in Argentina, causing severe infections in susceptible sugarcane varieties with up to 30% yield losses. Control relies on the development of tolerant sugarcane varieties to replace the susceptible ones.
Genotypic values and genetic gains in sugarcane varieties for sandy soils in Florida, USA
Last Updated: junio 17, 2025A sugarcane breeding program for sandy soils was started in Florida in 2011. After 10 years, genotypic values and the trend of genetic gains for cane yield (CY) and commercial recoverable sucrose (CRS) were evaluated. Fifty-six test varieties and three check cultivars planted in three or four sand locations were evaluated based on Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) during plant cane and two ratoon crops.
Histological damage caused by Acidovorax avenae subsp. avenae in sugarcane and the efficacy of a plant defense inducer to control red stripe disease
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025Red stripe (RS) in sugarcane [Acidovorax avenae subsp. avenae (Aaa)] is considered a non-systemic disease; however, understanding the colonization pattern of the pathogen is essential for proposing alternative management strategies in conjunction with the use of resistant sugarcane cultivars.
Identifying reservoirs hosting Eldana saccharina (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a pest of sugarcane in Senegal
Last Updated: junio 19, 2025The Senegal River Delta Valley is characterized by flat ground, high daily temperatures, and a short rainy season. In Richard Toll, the Compagnie Sucrière du Sénégal (CSS) grows 12,000 ha of sugarcane but suffers with variability of pest infestation among years.
