Sugarcane
Genetic variability of sugarcane genotypes for red rot disease
Authors: M.S. Iqbal, B. Tabassum, M.F. Awan, M. Tariq, Q. Ali and I.A. Nasir
Sugarcane is a vital crop grown for sugar and sugary products. The importance of sugarcane has been increased greatly as many countries have started the biofuel production using sugarcane as a source. This crop suffers many diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Red rot is one of the major diseases which limit the yield every year. We have scree.. Read More»

Selecting sugarcane genotypes by the selection index reveals high gain for technological quality traits
Authors: L.A. Silva, P.E. Teodoro, L.A. Peixoto, C. Assis, K. Gasparini, M.H.P. Barbosa and L.L. Bhering
Sugarcane (Saccharum sp) is one of the most promising crops and researchers have sought for renewable alternative energy sources to reduce CO2 emission. The study of strategies, which allow breeders in the selection of superior genotypes for many traits simultaneously, is important. Therefore, the objectives of this study were.. Read More»

Culture-independent analysis of endophytic bacterial communities associated with Brazilian sugarcane
Authors: G.S. Magnani1, L.M. Cruz1, H. Weber2, J.C. Bespalhok2, E. Daros2, V. Baura1, M.G. Yates1, R.A. Monteiro1, H. Faoro1, F.O. Pedrosa1 and E.M. Souza1
Sugarcane is an economically important culture in Brazil. Endophytic bacteria live inside plants, and can provide many benefits to the plant host. We analyzed the bacterial diversity of sugarcane cultivar RB-72454 by cultivation-independent techniques. Total DNA from sugarcane stems from a commercial plantation located in Paraná State was extracted.. Read More»

Relationships between methods of variety adaptability and stability in sugarcane
Authors: T.O. Mendes de Paula, C.D. Marinho, V. Souza, M.H.P. Barbosa, L.A. Peternelli, C.A. Kimbeng and M.M. Zhou
The identification and recommendation of superior genotypes is crucial for the growth of industrial crops, and sugarcane breeding performs a vital role by developing more productive cultivars. The study of genotype x environment interaction has been an essential tool in this process. Thereby, the purpose of this study was to i.. Read More»

Genetic variability among the chloroplast genomes of sugarcane (Saccharum spp) and its wild progenitor species Saccharum spontaneum L.
Authors: J.-R. Zhu, H. Zhou, Y.-B. Pan and X. Lu
A striking characteristic of modern sugarcane is that all sugarcane cultivars (Saccharum spp) share a common cytoplasm from S. officinarum. To explore the potential value of S. spontaneum cytoplasm, new Saccharum hybrids with an S. spontaneum cytoplasm were developed at the United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural ..

Changes on microsatellites of expressed sequence tag of sugarcane (Saccharum spp) during vegetative propagation
Authors: R. Augusto, R.C. Maranho, C.A. Mangolin, J.C. Bespalhok Filho and M.F.P.S. Machado
The reduction in sugarcane productivity in subsequent cutting stages may be related to a gradual decrease of the allele number and mean observed heterozygosity (HO) in the sugarcane ratoon. This hypothesis was tested assessing the number of alleles and HO values in 10 expressed sequence tag microsatellites (Est-SSR loci) of th.. Read More»

Use of simple sequence repeat markers for DNA fingerprinting and diversity analysis of sugarcane (Saccharum spp) cultivars resistant and susceptible to red rot
Authors: U. Hameed, Y.-B. Pan, K. Muhammad, S. Afghan and J. Iqbal
Red rod is an economically important disease of sugarcane caused by the fungus Colletotrichum falcatum. We used a simple sequence repeat (SSR)-based marker system to identify and analyze genetic relationships of red rot resistant and susceptible sugarcane cultivars grown in Pakistan. Twenty-one highly polymorphic SSR markers w.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Saccharum officinarum accessions in Pakistan as revealed by random amplified polymorphic DNA
Authors: F.A. Khan, A. Khan, F.M. Azhar and S. Rauf
Genetic diversity of 20 sugarcane accessions in Pakistan was studied using 21 random amplified polymorphic DNA markers. The mean genetic distance between the cultivars was 39.03%, demonstrating that a large part of the genome is similar among the accessions. This probably arises from a lack of parental diversity, with few clon.. Read More»

Iron translocation in Pleurotus ostreatus basidiocarps: production, bioavailability, and antioxidant activity
Authors: M.E. Yokota1, P.S. Frison1, R.C. Marcante1, L.F. Jorge1, J.S. Valle1, D.C. Dragunski2, N.B. Colauto1 and G.A. Linde10
Translocation of minerals from substrate to mushrooms can change the medicinal characteristics, commercial value, and biological efficiency of mushroom. In the present study, we demonstrated that addition of iron to the substrate reduces the yield of Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom. The biological efficiency of the mushroom varied from 36.53% on the unsupple.. Read More»

Characterization of a protein-protein interaction network of the CBL-interacting protein kinase 8 from sugarcane
Authors: T.F. Farani, A. Gentile, R.G. Tavares, C. Ribeiro and M. Menossi
Plants are sessile organisms and have evolved to tolerate a constantly changing environment. After the onset of different stress conditions, calcineurin B-like (CBL) proteins can sense calcium signals and activate CBL-interacting protein kinase (CIPK) proteins, which can phosphorylate downstream proteins to reestablish plant homeostasis. Previous studies .. Read More»
