The South African sugar industry remains under pressure to increase sugarcane supply to mills, many of which operate below optimal capacity. One opportunity for the industry, that of significant spatial expansion, lies in small grower, communally-owned areas where much of the land is suited to sugarcane production. Extensive investment capital has been channeled into small grower projects with ...

Few association mapping studies have simultaneously accounted for population structure, genotype by environment interaction (GEI), and spatial variation. In this sugarcane association mapping study we tested models accounting for these factors and identified the impact that each model component had on the list of markers declared as being significantly associated with traits. About 480 genotype...
