“…Of all Saccharum species, S. spontaneum has very wide geographic distribution from tropics to subtropics, resulting in the most diverse germplasm, which has been substantially used in sugarcane breeding programs (Ming et al, 2006), and are being deployed in the development of bioenergy cultivars (Tew and Cobill, 2010). Genetically diverse germplasm of S. spontaneum can effectively contribute to disease resistance, cold tolerance, insect resistance, and tillering potential to new breeding products.…”

“…Saccharum spontaneum is the major wild species extensively used in sugarcane genetic improvement and cultivar development worldwide for its resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses (Ming et al, 2006). More recently, S. spontaneum crossed with selected sugarcane clones (S. officinarum or Saccharum hybrids) has been deployed to produce early generation hybrids selected for sugar-fiber energy cane or fiber-only energy cane as a bioenergy crop (Tew and Cobill, 2010).…”

“…A large diverse germplasm is essential for sustained crop improvement. Clones from 31 expeditions during 1892 -1985 have been deposited in India and United states (Ray Ming et al, 2006). These specific agronomic needs for pests and diseases resistance and to broaden the genetic base of commercially grown cultivars.…”

“…Cana-de-açúcar e a geração de bagaço A cana-de-açúcar é uma gramínea semiperene do gênero Saccharum, proveniente do sudeste asiático e introduzida no Brasil no século XVI (CONAB, 2014;FERREIRA et al, 2013). Atualmente, existem mais de 5 mil variedades disponíveis no banco de germoplasma do Centro de Tecnologia Canavieira, o maior do mundo (CTC, 2015), sendo que a maioria dessas variedades são resultados de cruzamentos entre a espécie acumuladora de sacarose S. officinarum e a espécie selvagem S. spontaneum, apesar de outras espécies serem utilizadas no melhoramento (FERREIRA et al, 2013;MING et al, 2006). Além do melhoramento clássico, variedades geneticamente modificadas têm sido desenvolvidas no Brasil desde 1994, com a finalidade de melhorar a resistência a pragas, tolerância a herbicidas e ao estresse hídrico, com melhor produtividade e maior teor de açúcar.…”
