Brazil is the world's largest producer of sugarcane and one of the leading suppliers of sugar
and ethanol worldwide. In the 2019–2020 crop season, the country produced 642.7 million …

An increasing number of plant scientists, including breeders, agronomists, physiologists and
molecular biologists, are working towards the development of new and improved energy …

Sugarcane is a unique crop with the ability to accumulate high levels of sugar and is a
commercially viable source of biomass for bioelectricity and second-generation bioethanol …

A dramatic change in agricultural crops is needed in order to keep pace with the demands of
an increasing human population, exponential need for renewable fuels, and uncertain …

Carbon captured through photosynthesis is transported, and sometimes stored in plants, as
sugar. All organic compounds in plants trace to carbon from sugars, so sugar metabolism is …

In a now classic paper published in 1991, Alberch introduced the concept of genotype–
phenotype (G→ P) map** to provide a framework for a more sophisticated discussion of …

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 …

We review current knowledge of the most abundant sugars, sucrose, maltose, glucose and
fructose, in the world's major crop plants. The sucrose‐accumulating crops, sugar beet and …

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

Lignin, after cellulose, is the second most abundant biopolymer on Earth, accounting for
30% of the organic carbon in the biosphere. It is considered an important evolutionary …
