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 …

The sugar industry, which relates to people's livelihood, is strategic and fundamental in the
development of agricultural economy. In China, sugar derived from sugarcane accounts for …

Gene editing technologies have opened up the possibility of manipulating the genome of
any organism in a predicted way. CRISPR technology is the most used genome editing tool …

Sugarcane is the main source of sugar worldwide, and 80% of the sucrose production
comes from sugarcane. However, the genetic differentiation and basis of agronomic traits …

Accurately identifying varieties with targeted agronomic traits was thought to contribute to
