Article Synopsis
- This study replaces dangerous nitrate-based chemicals in sugarcane propagation with safer fertilizers like calcium ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate.
- Six local sugarcane varieties were tested to evaluate different ratios of nitrate and ammonium ions across treatment groups.
- Treatment 3, with 39.38 mM nitrate and 20.59 mM ammonium, was found to be the most effective and cost-efficient method for improving plant growth, making it a recommended choice for practical production.
Article Synopsis
- Environmental stresses significantly impact agricultural productivity and food security, exacerbated by climate change, affecting sugarcane yield and sucrose levels.
- Understanding the biochemical and physiological responses to environmental stresses like water shortages, temperature changes, pests, and diseases is crucial for enhancing crop production.
- The review emphasizes the importance of endophytes in improving plant defense mechanisms and suggests methods for sugarcane crop improvement through innovative biological applications.
Article Synopsis
- Climate change is threatening sustainable agriculture by negatively impacting crop productivity through environmental stresses.
- Plants can detect various environmental cues and activate stress response mechanisms, highlighting the importance of pathogenesis-related proteins like PR-1 in their immune defense system.
- Recent research has explored how factors like virulence effectors and epigenetic changes influence PR-1 expression, showing potential pathways for enhancing plant resilience to stress.
Sugarcane ( spp.), a major cash crop that is an important source of sugar and bioethanol, is strongly influenced by the impacts of biotic and abiotic stresses. The intricate polyploid and aneuploid genome of sugarcane has shown various limits for conventional breeding strategies.

GM sugarcane lines with integrated and foreign genes were used for GM sugar production. Traditional PCR, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed in analyzing leaves, stems, and other derived materials during sugar production, such as fibers, clarified juices, filter mud, syrups, molasses, and final GM sugar product.
