Sweet success: researchers crack sugarcane’s complex genetic code
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
02-Apr-2024 -
Modern hybrid sugarcane is one of the most harvested crops on the planet, used to make products including sugar, molasses, bioethanol, and bio-based materials. It also has one of the most complex genetic blueprints.
Until now, sugarcane’s complicated genetics made it the last major crop without a ...
