A sweet story: modern sugarcanes originate from three ancestral genomes
New study identifies hybridisation and backcrossing events to have led to the modern sugarcane cultivars.
Plant Science from Cell Biology to Ecosystems
New study identifies hybridisation and backcrossing events to have led to the modern sugarcane cultivars.
One way of improving the usefulness of a plant crop might come not from studying where the plant cells grow, but where they die.
Marcos Buckeridge explains how death and destruction in sugarcane roots can lead to the development of gas spaces, which improve root function.
