More Complex Than Human Genome: Unlocking the Sweet Mysteries of Sugarcane DNA
Scientists created a highly accurate reference genome for one of the most important modern crops and found a rare example of how genes confer disease resistance in plants. Exploring sugarcane’s genetic code could help researchers develop more resilient and productive crops, with implications for both sugar production and biofuels.
Until now, sugarcane’s complicated genetics made it the last major crop without a complete and highly accurate genome.
Researchers combined multiple techniques to successfully map out sugarcane’s DNA and identify key areas – including several related to sugar production and transport as well as disease resistance to brown rust.
Sugarcane’s reference genome could be used to help breed more resilient crops or to increase sugar production, with applications in agriculture and bioenergy.
