• Abstract

  Despite the economic importance of sugarcane, knowledge on the regulation of gene expression involved in controlling biological processes of commercial relevance are scanty in this species. Among such processes, the differential production of sucrose and biomass between diverse genotypes stands out, as well as the behavior of these genotypes when faced with abiotic stresses such as water …

• Abstract

  Performing differential gene expression studies requires biological replicates from contrasting groups, in order to estimate the residual variability between samples from the same treatment. Because it is possible to perform vegetative propagation in many plant species, these differential gene expression studies often use clonal replicates of a one or a few distinct genotypes, such that c…

• Abstract

  Little is known about the control of gene expression in sugarcane, despite its economic importance to Brazil and to São Paulo. Its complex genomic structure hinders the use of techniques developed for other crops. The genome of sugarcane is polyploid and aneuploid, with evidence of both auto polyploidy and allopolyploid, but most of these techniques were developed for diploid organisms. D…

• Abstract

  Among the objectives of the genetic improvement of plants, we stress the importance of increasing our knowledge on the use of water by plants and the selection of water stress-resistant genotypes. In fact, drought is a major problem in several sugarcane producing regions in Brazil. The present research proposal aims to evaluate six sugarcane genotypes of the Brazilian Panel of Sugarcane G…
