S. spontaneum

Wild sugarcane Saccharum spontaneum plants vary in ploidy, which complicates the utilization of its germplasm in sugarcane breeding. Investigations on cold tolerance in relation to different ploidies in S. spontaneum may promote the exploitation of its germplasm and accelerate the improvement of sugarcane varieties.

Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) genes play vital roles in sucrose production across various plant species. Modern sugarcane cultivar is derived from the hybridization between the high sugar content species Saccharum officinarum and the high stress tolerance species Saccharum spontaneum, generating one of the most complex genomes among all crops.

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is one of the staple sources of sweetening in the world and is of substantial importance to the economy of several sugarcane producing countries. Sugarcane is a major cash crop cultivated in many parts of the world, especially in the tropics. Commercial sugarcane (Poaceae), mainly the complex aneuploidy, polyploidyinterspecific hybrids of Saccharum officinarum and S. spontaneum is a major field crop accounting for about 85 per cent of sugar production worldwide.

Nitrogen is one of the most important mineral nutrients required for plant development especially for tillering and vegetative growth. Management of nitrogenous fertilizers poses a significant challenge in sugarcane cropping system as the efficiency of utilization of nitrogen is very poor. Improving the Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) is imperative to achieve the maximum cane yield with less N inputs.
