Article Synopsis
- Sugarcane is a key commercial crop for producing sugar, bioethanol, and other products, but traditional breeding methods are slow and expensive.
- The study utilized association mapping to find quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and genes linked to sucrose and yield traits using a panel of 110 sugarcane genotypes and 148 microsatellite primers.
- A total of 24 significant QTLs were discovered, with potential candidate genes identified that could enhance sugarcane breeding programs through advanced techniques like genome editing.
