Saccharum officinarum L. sugarcane, is a large, strong-growing species of grass in the genus Saccharum. It originated in Southeast Asia and is now cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries worldwide for the production of sugar and other products. S. Officinarum, a perennial plant, grows in clumps consisting of a number of strong unbranched stems..The aim of this study is to overview its ...

The present investigation highlights the free radical scavenging activity of Melochia corchorifolia, Sida acuta and Saccharum officinarum leaf extracts and their Phenolic contents by determining DPPH, Nitric oxide, Hydroxyl and Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity. The shade dried leaves were coarsely powdered and subjected to fractional extraction by using chloroform and ethanol. The extracts...

Sugarcane is a major crop used for food and bioenergy production. Modern cultivars are hybrids derived from crosses between Saccharum officinarum and Saccharum spontaneum. Hybrid cultivars combine favorable characteristics from ancestral species and contain a genome that is highly polyploid and aneuploid, containing 100-130 chromosomes. These complex genomes represent a huge challenge for molec...

Cultivars of sugarcane (Saccharum) are hybrids between species S. officinarum (x = 10, 2n = 8x = 80) and S. spontaneum (x = 8, 2n = 5 - 16x = 40 - 128). These accessions have 100 to 130 chromosomes, 80-85% of which are derived from S. officinarum, 10-15% from S. spontaneum, and 5-10% are possible recombinants between the two genomes. The aim of this study was to analyze the repetition of DNA se...

Sugarcane accounts for a large portion of the worlds sugar production. Modern commercial cultivars are complex hybrids of S. officinarum and several other Saccharum species. Historical records identify New Guinea as the origin of S. officinarum and that a small number of plants originating from there were used to generate all modern commercial cultivars. The mitochondrial genome can be a useful...

Introduction Policosanol, an extract from sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum L.), has been heavily researched in Cuba in several human populations for its cholesterol-lowering properties. In addition to improving serum lipids, policosanol reduces LDL oxidation, decreases platelet aggregation, decreases smooth muscle proliferation, and improves symptoms of cardiovascular disease. Side effects are...

Sugarcane cultivars are polyploid, aneuploid, interspecific hybrids between the domesticated species Saccharum officinarum and the wild relative S. spontaneum. Cultivar chromosome numbers range from 100 to 130 with approximately 10% contributed by S. spontaneum. We have undertaken a mapping study on the progeny of a selfed cultivar, R570, to analyze this complex genome structure. A set of 128 r...

The progress in the cytogenetics of sugarcane with special reference to researches during the last decade is reviewed. Standardisation of leaf squash, pollen grain squash and root t ip squash methods for chromosome study have been reported. Culturing of pollen grains and cells in vitro have been new additions. The basic chromosome number of Saccharum may be 5, 6, 8 and 10. A new line of investi...

Sugarcane is an important sugar and energy crop in the world. Germplasm innovation a significant way to breed breakthrough sugarcane varieties. Modern varieties all contain blood relationship of Saccharum officinarum spontaneum. High results from S. resistance genes In order improve quality, breeders use spontaneum cross obtain hybrid offspring with high resistance. Therefore, authenticity prog...
