Robust estimation of key leaf traits from reflectance spectroscopy of herbarium specimens

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2364-2378, August 2026.
Abstract Community‐wide efforts to digitize herbarium specimens have facilitated novel uses of specimen data across scales. However, the need for destructive sampling has prevented large‐scale examination of foliar functional traits. We demonstrate that nondestructive reflectance spectra are an effective tool for estimating leaf traits from herbarium ...

Forgetting cane grasses: Switching temporal focus to reveal mosaics of Saccharum diversity

Plants, People, Planet
Societal 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.

Established Short‐Rotation Willow (Salix spp.) as an Effective Facilitator of Native Hardwood Tree Regeneration in New York State, USA

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
In the Northeastern US, short‐rotation willow biomass crops have the potential to serve as nurse crops that facilitate hardwood regeneration on former agricultural land to support afforestation efforts. Regeneration declines with distance from natural seed sources, but could be augmented with seeding/underplanting.

A Meta‐Analysis Reveals That the Protective Role of Silicon in Grasses Against Fungal Pathogens Depends on Infection Mechanism

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5947-5964, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Pathogen infection drives plant community structure and constrains global agricultural productivity. Silicon (Si) improves resistance to abiotic and herbivory stress, particularly in grasses, but relatively little attention has addressed Si‐mediated resistance to pathogens, nor has it tested how this varies according to the type of plant and ...

Genetic maps of Saccharum officinarum L. and Saccharum robustum Brandes & Jew. ex grassl

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 1999
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 ...

Assessing the Likelihood of Gene Flow From Sugarcane (Saccharum Hybrids) to Wild Relatives in South Africa

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2018
Pre-commercialization studies on environmental biosafety of genetically modified (GM) crops are necessary to evaluate the potential for sexual hybridization with related plant species that occur in the release area. The aim of the study was a preliminary

Application of Genomic In Situ Hybridization (GISH) and tandem repeat sequence amplification for identification of Erianthus – Saccharum introgression

Caryologia
In our experiment a F1 hybrid (GU (04)-28-EO2) obtained from Erianthus procerus (IND 90-776) x Saccharum officinarum (PIO 96-435) was crossed with a commercial variety, Co 06027. Resulted BC1 hybrid (GU 12-25) was crossed with a commercial cane Co 12009.

Thermodynamics of Biosorption for Removal of Co(II) Ions by an Efficient and Ecofriendly Biosorbent (Saccharum bengalense): Kinetics and Isotherm Modeling

Journal of Chemistry, 2013
In this research work, a low-cost biomass derived from the pulp of Saccharum bengalense (SB) was used as an adsorbent material/biosorbent for the removal of Co(II) ions from aqueous solution.

Identification of promising true sugarcane seed families to explore the possibility of direct commercial cultivation

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology
True sugarcane seed (TSS) families offer economic, environmental, and practical advantages over clonal varieties. Identification of well-germinating and high-yielding TSS families to replace sett/settling planting is a prerequisite for direct commercial ...
