Experimental evaluation of genomic selection prediction for rust resistance in sugarcane
The Plant Genome, 2021 The total sugarcane (Saccharum L.) production has increased worldwide; however, the rate of growth is lower compared with other major crops, mainly due to a plateauing of genetic gain.

Integrated Approach in Genomic Selection to Accelerate Genetic Gain in Sugarcane
Plants, 2022 Marker-assisted selection (MAS) has been widely used in the last few decades in plant breeding programs for the mapping and introgression of genes for economically important traits, which has enabled the development of a number of superior cultivars in ...

Enhanced polyhydroxybutyrate production in transgenic sugarcane [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2012 SummaryPolyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a bacterial polyester that has properties similar to some petrochemically produced plastics. Plant‐based production has the potential to make this biorenewable plastic highly competitive with petrochemical‐based plastics. We previously reported that transgenic sugarcane produced PHB at levels as high as 1.8% leaf dry

Production of polyhydroxybutyrate in sugarcane
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2006 SummaryWe report here the production of the bacterial polyester, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), in the crop species sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids). The PHB biosynthesis enzymes of Ralstonia eutropha [β‐ketothiolase (PHAA), acetoacetyl‐reductase (PHAB) and PHB synthase (PHAC)] were expressed in the cytosol or targeted to mitochondria or plastids.
