“…For example, the safety of transgenic sugarcane with the AVP1 gene [103] was assessed through animal feeding and genotoxicity assays. Acute and subchronic toxicity studies were conducted in rats, and no significant differences were observed among the different treatments [135]. Moreover, genotoxicity assessment revealed that GM sugarcane was neither genotoxic nor cytotoxic to rats.…”

Sugarcane, a vital cash crop, contributes significantly to the world’s sugar supply and raw materials for biofuel production, playing a significant role in the global sugar industry. However, sustainable productivity is severely hampered by biotic and abiotic stressors. Genetic engineering has been used to transfer useful genes into sugarcane plants to improve desirable traits and has emerged as a basic and applied research method to maintain growth and productivity under different adverse environmental conditions. However, the use of transgenic approaches remains contentious and requires rigorous experimental methods to address biosafety challenges. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) mediated genome editing technology is growing rapidly and may revolutionize sugarcane production. This review aims to explore innovative genetic engineering techniques and their successful application in developing sugarcane cultivars with enhanced resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses to produce superior sugarcane cultivars.
