Abstract:Elucidating the intricacies of the sugarcane genome is essential for breeding superior cultivars. This economically important crop originates from hybridizations of highly polyploidSaccharumspecies. However, the large size (10 Gb), high polyploidy, and aneuploidy of the sugarcane genome pose significant challenges to complete genome sequencing, assembly, and annotation. One successful strategy for identifying candidate genes linked to agronomic traits, particularly those associated with sugar accumulation, lev… Show more
