Polyploidy or duplication of an entire genome occurs in the majority of angiosperms. The
understanding of polyploid genomes is important for the improvement of those crops, which …

Simple Summary Sugarcane ratooning ability is directly related to sugarcane production
costs and planting benefits. There are several questions within the field that we have …

Sugarcane is the world's most efficient feedstock for commercial production of bioethanol
due to its superior biomass production and accumulation of sucrose in stems. Integrating first …

Background Sugarcane cultivars are polyploid interspecific hybrids of giant genomes,
typically with 10–13 sets of chromosomes from 2 Saccharum species. The ploidy, hybridity …

Reference genome sequences have become key platforms for genetics and breeding of the
major crop species. Sugarcane is probably the largest crop produced in the world (in weight …

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is one of the most valuable food and industrial crops. Its
production is constrained due to major biotic (fungi, bacteria, viruses and insect pests) and …

Genome assembly of polyploid plant genomes is a laborious task as they contain more than
two copies of the genome, are often highly heterozygous with a high level of repetitive DNA …

Understanding how crop plants evolved from their wild relatives and spread around the
world can inform about the origins of agriculture. Here, we review how the rapid …

The ability to expand crop plantations without irrigation is a major goal to increase
agriculture sustainability. To achieve this end, we need to understand the mechanisms that …

Sugarcane crop constitutes one of the most vital sources of sugar and bioenergy globally;
however, higher level of polyploidy makes its genome editing an intricate task. Recently …
