Silicon, one of the most prevalent elements in the soil, is beneficial for plant growth and defense against different stresses. The silicon transporter gene (Lsi) plays an important role in the uptake and transport of silicon in higher plants. In this study, a total of 32 Lsi genes, including 20 SsLsi in sugarcane wild species Saccharum spontaneum, 5 ShLsi in Saccharum hybrid cultivar R570 and 7 SbLsi in sugarcane related species Sorghum bicolor, were identified and classified into three groups.

- An allene oxide cyclase gene (ScAOC1) was isolated from sugarcane and examined for its role in plant defense against various stresses.
- ScAOC1 and its four alleles (SsAOC1-SsAOC4) are similar in structure and are involved in jasmonate acid (JA) production, crucial for the plant's stress response.
- The gene showed increased expression in resistant sugarcane varieties following infection and exhibited varied responses to different stress treatments, suggesting its importance in enhancing stress tolerance.
