Forgetting cane grasses: Switching temporal focus to reveal mosaics of Saccharum diversity
Plants, People, PlanetSocietal Impact Statement Sugarcane (Saccharum cvs.) is one of the most important cash crops globally. Related varieties and species of cane grasses of the genus Saccharum are also important subsistence crops in the Indo‐Pacific region.

A new method based on SNP of nrDNA-ITS to identify Saccharum spontaneum and its progeny in the genus Saccharum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The identification of germplasm resources is an important aspect of sugarcane breeding. The aim of this study was to introduce a new method for identifying Saccharum spontaneum and its progeny.

Authenticity Identification of Saccharum officinarum and Saccharum spontaneum Germplasm Materials
Agronomy, 2022 Sugarcane is an important sugar and energy crop in the world. Germplasm innovation is a significant way to breed breakthrough sugarcane varieties. Modern sugarcane varieties all contain the blood relationship of Saccharum officinarum and Saccharum spontaneum. High sugar results from S. officinarum and the resistance genes from S. spontaneum.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 High ploids of the sugarcane nuclear genome limit its genomic studies, whereas its chloroplast genome is small and conserved, which is suitable for phylogenetic studies and molecular marker development. Here, we applied whole genome sequencing technology to sequence and assemble chloroplast genomes of eight species of the ‘Saccharum Complex’, and ...

Characterization of Repetitive DNA in Saccharum officinarum and Saccharum spontaneum by Genome Sequencing and Cytological Assays [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 In most plant species, DNA repeated elements such as satellites and retrotransposons are composing the majority of their genomes. Saccharum officinarum (2n = 8x = 80) and S. spontaneum (2n = 40–128) are the two fundamental donors of modern sugarcane cultivars.

Comparative genetic analysis of the 45S rDNA intergenic spacers from three Saccharum species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The 45S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) units are separated by an intergenic spacer (IGS) containing the signals for transcription and processing of rRNAs. For the first time, we sequenced and analyzed the entire IGS region from three original species within the ...

Global analysis of the sugarcane microtranscriptome reveals a unique composition of small RNAs associated with axillary bud outgrowth [PDF]
, 2013 Axillary bud outgrowth determines shoot architecture and is under the control of endogenous hormones and a fine-tuned gene-expression network, which probably includes small RNAs (sRNAs).

Effect of a major ice storm on understory light conditions in an old-growth Acer-Fagus forest: Pattern of recovery over seven years [PDF]
, 2007 We evaluated the effects of a major ice storm on understory light conditions (%PPFD, photosynthetic photon flux density) in an old-growth Acer-Fagus forest in Quebec, based on pre- and post-disturbance light measurements taken until the seventh growing ...

Carbon partitioning in sugarcane (Saccharum species) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Focus has centered on C-partitioning in stems of sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) due to their high-sucrose accumulation features, relevance to other grasses, and rising economic value. Here we review how sugarcane balances between sucrose storage, respiration, and cell wall biosynthesis.
