ISBN 1 86320 177 7 Editorial management: P.W. Lynch Typesetting and page layout: Judy Fenelon, Bawley Point. New Soulh Wales Printed by: Paragon Printers. Fyshwick, ACT Foreword ANALYSIS by the Technical Advisory Committee of the Consultative Group of Internation­ al Agricultural Research Centres (estimated that in 1987-88 sugar was the fourteenth most important crop in developing countries, with a gross value of production of over US$7.3 billion. In Australia it is the third most important crop, with a value in 1994-95 of around A$1.7 billion. The importance of sugar in developing countries and Australia makes it an appropriate focus for collaborative research and development with support from the Aus­ tralian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR). The importance of international collaboration for Australia is further emphasised by the fact that the Australian industry is based on imported gerrnplasm; there are no native Saccharum species. The Australian sugar industry has been cautious about supporting international scientif­ ic collaboration. Since 1982, ACIAR has funded only one collaborative project on sugar evaluating policy options for sugar production and marketing in the Philippines. In recent times, however, industry keenness has grown and opportunities to promote such collaboration were discussed between ACIAR, the Sugar Research and Development Cor­ poration and the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations in a series of meetings during 1994. It was resolved that, because of the importance of gerrnplasm exchange in the develop­ ment of sugarcane industries worldwide and the recent findings of new virus diseases in germplasm centres and exchanged germplasm, a workshop should be held on safe man­ agement and international exchange of sugarcane gerrnplasm. This workshop, which is reported in these proceedings, was held near Brisbane in Queensland, Australia, on 28-30 June 1995. A committee consisting of Barry Croft, Mac Hogarth, Peter Whittle, Bob Dodman, Eoin Wallis and Colin Piggin organised the work­ shop. Ted Henzell also helped greatly with its organisation and running. People from Australia (21) and overseas (14) attended, presenting papers and partici­ pating in discussions on a range of issues related to the collection, characterisation, con­ servation, cleanup and exchange of sugarcane germplasm. Consideration of such issues concerning vegetatively propagated species was enhanced through several case studies of successful operations internationally with banana at the International Network for Improvement of Banana and Plantain, in Australia with potato at the Institute for Horti­ cultural Development Knoxfield, and in the United States with fruit trees at Beltsville, Maryland. The excellent organisation, the spectacular and beautiful location of Clearview Mountain, and the enthusiasm and expertise of participants, all conspired to foster a very positive spirit at the workshop. It proved possible within the three days to review current knowledge and experiences with the exchange and quarantine of sugarcane and to develop action plans to address the major constraints. Outputs included recommen­ dations for germplasm conservation, exchange, quarantine and conservation based on current knowledge, and the identification of priorities for future research and develop­ ment, including opportunities for international collaboration. Presented papers and a summary of outcomes from the workshop are presented in these proceedings. It is expected that these will provide background information to develop and seek support for a range of collaborative research, development and training projects on issues concerned with the conservation, exchange and use of sugar germplasm.

  • Characterization of Chromosome Composition of Sugarcane in Nobilization by Using Genomic in Situ Hybridization
    Yu et al. Molecular Cytogenetics (2018) 11:35 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13039-018-0387-z RESEARCH Open Access Characterization of chromosome composition of sugarcane in nobilization by using genomic in situ hybridization Fan Yu1, Ping Wang1, Xueting Li1, Yongji Huang1, Qinnan Wang2, Ling Luo1, Yanfen Jing3, Xinlong Liu3, Zuhu Deng1,4*, Jiayun Wu2, Yongqing Yang1, Rukai Chen1, Muqing Zhang4 and Liangnian Xu1* Abstract Background: Interspecific hybridization is an effective strategy for germplasm innovation in sugarcane. Nobilization refers to the breeding theory of development and utilization of wild germplasm. Saccharum spontaneum is the main donor of resistance and adaptive genes in the nobilization breeding process. Chromosome transfer in sugarcane is complicated; thus, research of different inheritance patterns can provide guidance for optimal sugarcane breeding. Results: Through chromosome counting and genomic in situ hybridization, we found that six clones with 80 chromosomes were typical S. officinarum and four other clones with more than 80 chromosomes were interspecific hybrids between S. officinarum and S. spontaneum. These data support the classical view that S. officinarum is characterized by 2n = 80. In addition, genomic in situ hybridization showed that five F1 clones were products of a 2n + n transmission and one F1 clone was the product of an n + n transmission in clear pedigree noble hybrids between S. officinarum and S. spontaneum. Interestingly, Yacheng 75–408 and Yacheng 75–409 were the sibling lines of the F1 progeny from the same parents but with different genetic transmissions. Conclusions: This is the first clear evidence of Loethers, Crystallina, Luohanzhe, Vietnam Niuzhe, and Nanjian Guozhe were typical S.

Selected species Sugarcane 2 Saccharum arundinaceum Saccharum barberi Saccharum bengalense Saccharum edule Saccharum munja Saccharum officinarum Saccharum procerum Saccharum ravennae Saccharum robustum Saccharum sinense Saccharum spontaneum Sugarcane, or Sugar cane, is any of six to 37 species (depending on which taxonomic system is used) of tall perennial true grasses of the genus Saccharum, tribe Andropogoneae. Native to the warm temperate to tropical regions of South Asia, they have stout jointed fibrous stalks that are rich in sugar, and measure two to six metres (6 to 19 feet) tall. All sugar cane species interbreed, and the major commercial cultivars are complex hybrids. Sugarcane belongs to the grass family (Poaceae), an economically important seed plant family that includes maize, wheat, rice, and sorghum and many forage crops. The main product of sugarcane is sucrose, which accumulates in the stalk internodes. Sucrose, extracted and purified in specialized mill factories, is used as raw material in human food industries or is fermented to produce ethanol. Ethanol is produced on a large scale by the Brazilian sugarcane industry. Sugarcane is the world's largest crop.[1] In 2010, FAO estimates it was cultivated on about 23.8 million hectares, in more than 90 countries, with a worldwide harvest of 1.69 billion tonnes. Brazil was the largest producer of sugar cane in the world. The next five major producers, in decreasing amounts of production, were India, China, Thailand, Pakistan and Mexico.

Vegetatively propagated crops are globally significant in terms of current agricultural production, as well as for understanding the long-term history of early agriculture and plant domestication. Today, significant field crops include sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum), potato (Solanum tuberosum), manioc (Manihot esculenta), bananas and plantains (Musa cvs.), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), yams (Dioscorea spp.) and taro (Colocasia esculenta). In comparison to sexually-reproduced crops, especially cereals and legumes, the domestication syndrome in vegetatively-propagated field crops is poorly defined. AIMS AND SCOPE. Here, a range of phenotypic traits potentially comprising a syndrome associated with early domestication of vegetatively-propagated field crops is proposed, including: mode of reproduction, yield of edible portion, ease of harvesting, defensive adaptations, timing of production and plant architecture.
