Historique de l'amélioration de la canne à sucre et état de l'art des recherches en génétique d'association pour le rendement [PDF]
La sélection de la canne à sucre est récente, elle commence lors de la création des premiers hybrides obtenus à Java au début du siècle dernier. La nobilisation, une méthode de croisements interspécifiques, permit l'obtention de variétés nettement plus ...

Can soil amendments help stabilize rainfed soybean production variations?
Abstract The application of biochar and gypsum to soil promotes soil health for crop production. The benefits can vary depending on the soil and climate. We evaluated seed yield, quality, and soil quality benefits of applying biochar and gypsum to silt loam soil in a humid subtropical climate at Stoneville, MS (33° 42′ N, 90° 55′ W).

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

Detailed analyses of 12 hom(oe)ologous chromosome segments in the highly polyploid sugarcane genome [PDF]
Modern sugarcane cultivars (Saccharum spp.) are recognized as the crop with the most complex genome studied to date, mainly due to the very high level of vertical redundancy (2n = ca 12x = ca 120), together with an interspecific origin.

ABSTRACT Fluctuating light is a key factor limiting crop photosynthetic efficiency, with C4 maize (Zea mays) and C3 rice (Oryza sativa) crops exhibiting distinct acclimation responses. However, the systemic differences in physiological and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms between C3 and C4 crops under long‐term fluctuating light remain poorly ...

The Sugarcane genome sequencing effort: An overview of the strategy, goals and existing data : [Abstract W538] [PDF]
Sugarcane is a major feedstock used for biofuel production worldwide. Sugarcane cultivars (Saccharum spp) are derived from interspecific hybridization obtained a century ago by crossing Saccharum officinarum (2n=8x=80) and S.

Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands
Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

The mirage of DNA methylation in transcriptional regulation of plants
Abstract “Cytosine methylation plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression in plants.” Some iteration of this statement can be found in most papers centered on plant epigenetics and has become a widely accepted textbook claim. However, our generalized understanding of how DNA methylation exerts control over transcription is now ...
