Orphan crops of archaeology‐based crop history research
Agrobiodiversity is central to sustainable farming worldwide. Cultivation, conservation and reintroduction of diverse plant species, including ‘forgotten’ and ‘underutilized’ crops, contribute to global agrobiodiversity, living ecosystems and sustainable food production.

Genetic maps of Saccharum officinarum L. and Saccharum robustum Brandes & Jew. ex grassl
Genetic analysis was performed in a population composed of 100 F1 individuals derived from a cross between a cultivated sugarcane (S. officinarum `LA Purple') and its proposed progenitor species (S. robustum `Mol 5829'). Various types (arbitrarily primed-PCR, RFLPs, and AFLPs) of single-dose DNA markers (SDMs) were used to construct genetic linkage ...

Comparative Analysis of Homologous Sequences of Saccharum officinarum and Saccharum spontaneum Reveals Independent Polyploidization Events [PDF]
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) is an economically important crop widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions for sugar and ethanol production. However, the large genome size, high ploidy level, interspecific hybridization and aneuploidy make sugarcane one of the most complex genomes and have long hampered genome research in sugarcane.

Could large‐scale silicon supplementation of crop‐lands mitigate the impacts of climate change?
Intervention strategies that involve supplementing crop‐lands with silicon have significant scope for carbon capture and drought mitigation, offering wide‐ranging societal impacts. These include contributing to decarbonisation goals, enhancing food security, providing economic benefits and reducing environmental damage associated with intensive ...

Deposition of lignin in four species of Saccharum [PDF]
AbstractWe used primers designed on conserved gene regions of several species to isolate the most expressed genes of the lignin pathway in four Saccharum species. S. officinarum and S. barberi have more sucrose in the culms than S. spontaneum and S. robustum, but less polysaccharides and lignin in the cell wall. S. spontaneum, and S.

We have assembled a group of scientists that work on different aspects of SCA and hereby submit a comprehensive review of the species and its management, with ideas for future research avenues. We believe this review will be of interest to scientists studying plant–insect interactions, and extension entomologists, among others, who work with the ...

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of sugar maple (Acer saccharum)
Acer saccharum is one ecologically and economically important tree species cultivated widely across the world. In this study we generated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of A. saccharum via genome-skimming method.
