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 …

The lack of an efficient approach for quality evaluation of sweet potatoes significantly
hinders progress in quality breeding. Therefore, this study aimed to establish a near-infrared …

The near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used for efficient characterization and
rapid assay of biomass saccharification in other energy plants, but its application in …

Lodging is a critical factor that impedes sugarcane growth and restricts the production of
sucrose and refined ethanol. Considering bending properties of the stalk are highly …

Background: Medical infrared thermal imaging (IRT) has been applied to research blood
flow, breast cancer detection, and human body muscle performance. The benefits of IRT …

Sugarcane is a major industrial crop around the world. Lodging due to weak mechanical
strength is one of the main problems leading to huge yield losses in sugarcane. However …

Background Sugarcane is one of the most crucial energy crops that produces high yields of
sugar and lignocellulose. The cellulose crystallinity index (CrI) and lignin are the two kinds …

Drought is an important stress factor with increased severity due to climate change. Previous
research characterised drought-tolerant sugarcane epimutants over several rounds of ex …

Abstract Background Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is the core crop for sugar and bioethanol
production over the world. A major problem in sugarcane production is stalk lodging due to …

Sugarcane is a globally significant crop for sugar and energy production, and developing
high light-efficiency sugarcane varieties is crucial for enhancing yield and quality. However …
