Abstract:
The genetic complexity of sugarcane, attaining novel genotypes for it is comparatively due to mechanisms of vegetative propagation. Breeding for higher yield and quality traits requires basic information on the extent of genetic variation in a population and its response to selection. Improving the genetic potential of qualitative and quantitative traits is the most important goal in the breeding program for sugarcane. The different breeding approaches aimed at developing types with new characteristics, it seems that better awareness of the biological network will effectively lead cultural management, thus increasing the capacity of present cultures through genomic selection in addition to enhancing new ones. This review summarizes the identification and functional characterization of the breeding programs and current understanding of the immunity against various diseases in sugarcane.
