“…Similar caution should be taken with morphological characters when they are used as diagnostic markers. In the past, morphology has often been misleading in the interpretation of the results of artificial inter-genera crosses, especially those involving Saccharum and Erianthus (D'Hont et al 1995; Piperidis et al, 2000).…”

In 1987, J. Daniels and B. T. Roach published an exhaustive multidisciplinary review of evidence permitting the domestication and the early evolution of sugarcane to be traced. We try here to synthesize the new data that have been produced since, and their contribution to the understanding of the global picture. It is now highly probable that sugarcane evolved from a specific lineage restricted to current genus Saccharum and independent from lineages that conducted to genera Miscanthus and Erianthus. The scenario established by E. W. Brandes in 1958 is very likely the right one: Noble cultivars (ie. Saccharum officinarum) arose from S. robustum in New Guinea. Humans then spread these cultigens over large distances. In mainland Asia, natural hybridization with S. spontaneum occurred, and gave rise to the North Indian (S. barberi) and Chinese (S. sinense) cultivars. Relationships between S. spontaneum and S. robustum in situations of sympatry are still not well understood.

“…In the S. officinarumϫE. arundinaceus hybrids studied by fluorescent in situ hybridization by Piperidis et al (2000) 6 hybrids had fewer than 70 chromosomes expected from nϩn transmission and 1 hybrid had approximately 78 chromosomes, 50 of which were contributed by S. officinarum and 28 by E. arundinaceus, was attributed to 2nϩn transmission. Chromosome elimination occurred in all the hybrids studied by them.…”

“…Erianthus arundinaceus is a large grass with tall and thick stalks resembling sugarcane and having useful traits such as growth vigour, wide ecological adaptability, extensive root system, drought and water logging resistance, good ratoonability, high biomass and disease resistance (D'Hont et al 1995). E. arundinaceus is being used in the sugarcane breeding programmes for introgression of favourable agronomic characters from E. arundinaceus to sugarcane but the non-flowering or sterility of many of the hybrids with S. officinarum was a limiting factor (Piperidis et al 2000). The wide crosses of sugarcane with the wild species S. spontaneum and E. arundinaceus are being done to improve the biomass yield of sugarcane as an energy crop (Ming et al 2006).…”

Summary Cytological studies were made in hybrids between S. spontaneum L clone Iritty-2 (2nϭ64) and Erianthus arundinaceus (Retz.) Jesweit clone IK 76-99 (2nϭ60). The chromosome number of 19 hybrids ranged from 2nϭ78 to 86. Predominantly bivalent formation was observed at diakinesis and metaphase I stages in pollen mother cells of all the hybrids. At later meiotic stages abnormalities such as lagging chromosomes, multipolar spindles, abnormal planes of cytokinesis and micronuclei were present. In one hybrid CYM 04-391 with chromosome number 2nϭ80, the pollen mother cells had cytomixis and syncyte formation in the prophase stage. Certain syncytes had very high number of chromosomes in the form of bivalents at diakinesis and metaphase I, with nearly 80 to more than 600 bivalents. Fertile pollen was observed in few anthers of CYM 04-391 and the pollen size variation was high in it compared to that in the other similar hybrids.Key words Sugarcane, Saccharum spontaneum, Erianthus arundinaceus, Intergeneric hybrid, Meiotic abnormalities, Syncyte.Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrid) is a major crop in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world grown mainly for sugar and ethanol. The commercial sugarcane varieties are complex derivatives of man made-interspecific hybrids involving the 'noble' cane Saccharum officinarum L. and the wild grass S. spontaneum L. in which other Saccharum species S. barberi Jesweit, S. sinense Roxb. and S. robustum Jesweit and Brandes ex Grassl. were also incorporated (Daniels and Roach, 1987). The chromosome number of the commercial sugarcane clones range between 2nϭ100 and 130, higher than that of the basic species S. officinarum (2nϭ80) and S. spontaneum (2nϭ64 or 80) involved in their origin (Sreenivasan et al. 1987). This is due to the phenomenon of 2nϩn transmission in crosses involving S. officinarum and S. spontaneum and also in the first back cross when S. officinarum is used as female parent. The 'Saccharum complex', proposed by Mukherjee (1957) includes the genera Saccharum, Erianthus Michx. sect. Ripidium Henrad, Sclerostachya (Hack.) A. Camus and Narenga Bor. which constitute a closely related interbreeding group. Later, Daniels et al. (1975) suggested to include Miscanthus also to the Saccharum complex. The origin of S. officinarum is still debated and the most plausible path of evolution was given by Daniels and Roach (1987) that it was originated in the East Indonesian/New Guinea area from S. spontaneum, Miscanthus sinensis and Erianthus arundinaceus (Retz.) Jesweit.S. spontaneum with wide eco-geographical distribution has many cytotypes with chromosome numbers ranging from 2nϭ40 to 128 (Panje and Babu, 1960;Sreenivasan et al. 1987). Janaki Ammal (1941) crossed S. spontaneum 'Glagha' (2nϭ112) with Erianthus ravennae (2nϭ20) and obtained hybrids having chromosome number 2nϭ66, resulting from nϩn transmission. The S. spontaneum 'SES 248' (2nϭ40)ϫE. ciliaris (2nϭ40) gave rise to hybrids with nϩn transmission

“…Most of these species have relatively large chromosomes. Nevertheless, GISH analyses of Nicotiana and sugarcane cultivars have shown that the small chromosomes of these species originate from different ancestral genomes, which can clearly be discriminated (Lim et al, 2000;Piperidis et al, 2000).…”

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a relatively young crop and has a narrow gene pool. In order to introduce genetic variability into the crop, interspeci®c hybrids, selected from crosses with wild beets of the sections Corollinae and Procumbentes, have been generated. The introgressed B. procumbens chromatin carries resistance genes to beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii Schm. These lines are important for breeding of nematoderesistant sugar beet, while Corollinae species are potential donors of tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses such as drought or saline soils. We have used in situ hybridization of genomic DNA to discriminate the parental chromosomes in these interspeci®c hybrids. Suppression of cross-hybridization by blocking DNA was not necessary indicating that the investigated Beta genomes contain suf®cient species-speci®c DNA enabling the unequivocal determination of the genomic composition of the hybrids. Interspeci®c hybrid lines with an additional chromosome (2n = 18 + 1), chromosome fragment (2n = 18 + fragment) or translocation of B. procumbens (2n = 18) were analysed by genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) at mitosis and meiosis. Species-speci®c satellites and ribosomal genes used in combination with genomic DNA or in rehybridization experiments served as landmark probes for chromosome identi®cation in hybrid genomes. The detection of a B. procumbens translocation of approx. 1 Mbp demonstrated the sensitivity and resolution of GISH and showed that this approach is a powerful method in genome analysis projects of the genus Beta.ã 2002 Annals of Botany Company
