Hibiscus exhibits high variation in chromosome number both within and among species. The
Hibiscus mutabilis L. karyotype was analyzed in detail using fluorescence in situ …

Cytogenetic investigations based on chromosome composition provide insight into basic
genetic and genomic characteristics of a species that in turn facilitate species identification …

Erianthus arundinaceus is a valuable source of agronomic traits for sugarcane improvement
such as ratoonability, biomass, vigor, tolerance to drought and water logging, as well as …

Background In recent years, sugarcane has attracted increasing attention as an energy crop.
Wild resources are widely used to improve the narrow genetic base of sugarcane. However …

Chromosome-specific identification is a powerful technique in the study of genome structure
and evolution. However, there is no reliable cytogenetic marker to unambiguously identify …

Background Karyotype dynamics driven by chromosomal rearrangements has long been
considered as a fundamental question in the evolutionary genetics. Saccharum …

Saccharum spontaneum is a major Saccharum species that contributed to the origin of
modern sugarcane cultivars, and due to a high degree of polyploidy is considered to be a …

Erianthus is a wild related genus of sugarcane. Its introgression is expected to impart better
