Abstract Among the several genetic transformation methodologies available, those mediated by Agrobacterium (indirect transformation) and biobalistics or biolistics (direct transformation) are the most used methods to obtain genetically modified cane plants. The development of highly efficient gene transfer systems is essential for the success of the transformation process in order to obtain new varieties and to elucidate the gene function of genes identified in the Sucest Project. Using RNAseq data, this work aims to construct gene transformation vectors with high efficiency of gene expression by super expression or gene silencing. During the project, target genes or gene networks for the genetic transformation of sugarcane will be identified to increase productivity and change the content of sucrose, fiber and lignin to develop energy cane.
