Plant-Parasitic Nematodes on Sugarcane in Florida
Plant-parasitic nematodes are microscopic roundworms that feed on and damage plants. Ectoparasitic nematodes live and reproduce in soil and feed on roots from outside. Endoparasitic nematodes enter into the roots to feed and reproduce. Sting nematode (Belonolaimus longicaudatus), an ectoparasite, is the most damaging nematode to sugarcane in Florida ...

Florida Crop/Pest Profile: Sugarcane
Sugarcane (Saccharum interspecific hybrids) is the main source of sugar in the world. It is grown in more than 90 countries in tropical and subtropical regions. Cultivation techniques and production challenges vary by location. This document discusses characteristics of the sugarcane crop and pests affecting its production in Florida, which is the ...

RNAi and genome editing of sugarcane: Progress and prospects [PDF]
SUMMARY Sugarcane, which provides 80% of global table sugar and 40% of biofuel, presents unique breeding challenges due to its highly polyploid, heterozygous, and frequently aneuploid genome. Significant progress has been made in developing genetic resources, including the recently completed reference genome of the sugarcane cultivar R570 and pan ...

Response to “Comment on ‘Impacts of Sugarcane Fires on Air Quality and Public Health in South Florida’” [PDF]
Shapero et al.1 claim the conclusions of our study2 are undermined by “erroneous assumptions and misapplied technical approaches.” However, their letter ignores most of the evidence that we provided in our article, incorrectly describes the methods we ...

Exploiting historical agronomic data to develop genomic prediction strategies for early clonal selection in the Louisiana sugarcane variety development program [PDF]
Abstract Genomic selection can enhance the rate of genetic gain of cane and sucrose yield in sugarcane (Saccharum L.), an important industrial crop worldwide. We assessed the predictive ability (PA) for six traits, such as theoretical recoverable sugar (TRS), number of stalks (NS), stalk weight (SW), cane yield (CY), sugar yield (SY), and fiber content

The Rice Effect: Sugarcane Production in Florida Following Rice
Since sugarcane is the principal crop in the rice-sugarcane rotation, researchers at the University of Florida's Everglades Research and Education Center (EREC) conducted experiments to determine the effect of rice production upon the sugarcane plant crop that followed the rice crop. This document summarizes two experiments.
