Sugarcane, the world's most harvested crop by tonnage, has shaped global history, trade and geopolitics, is currently responsible for 80% of sugar production worldwide
Using GWAS approaches, we detected independent resistant markers in sugarcane towards a vectored virus disease. Based on comparative genomics, several candidate genes potentially involved virus/aphid/plant interactions were pinpointed. Yellow leaf of is an emerging viral disease whose causal agent Polerovirus, the Sugarcane yellow (SCYLV) transmitted by aphids. To identify quantitative trait loci controlling resistance to which are direct relevance for breeding, undertook genome-wide...
Abstract The sugarcane variety development program on Réunion Island is dedicated to an industry that encompasses numerous different agroclimatic production zones. objective of this study characterize in detail the final selection stage program, consisting multienvironment trials (MET) at seven representative locations, considering genotypic response terms tonnes cane per hectare (TCH), estimable recoverable sugar (ERS), fiber content (FIB), and economic index (EI). Data from four recent...
Sugarcane variety development programmes are costly and lengthy. It appears important to periodically assess their ability select competitive genotypes for yield components provide genetic gains. This article reports a 10-year retrospective analysis of successive trials conducted in four regional breeding on Réunion Island the most advanced selection stage. The were dedicated humid coastal zone (LM), per-humid (SB), irrigated dry (ES) high lands (VB) local industry. Using mixed linear...
Abstract All over the world, sugarcane breeding programs are developing new, high-yielding cultivars that resistant to major diseases improve profitability and sustainability of sugar-energy industries they serve. In Reunion Island, genetic improvement efforts began in 1929. Many challenges had be overcome. Continuous have been made develop varietal resistances control some still going on today. Given extreme agroclimatic diversity characterizes different production areas industry, it was...
Abstract Sugarcane breeding programs aim to deliver new high-yielding varieties, resistant diseases and pests, which contribute profitability sustainability of cane industries. These generally mobilize significant experimental, technological human resources on long-term basis. Their efficiency in terms genetic gains per unit cost time their ability release varieties rely the development many applications based quantitative genetics theory statistical analyses numerous experimental data from...
Abstract Orange rust caused by Puccinia kuehnii is a major emerging disease in many sugarcane-producing countries. Breeding for resistant varieties the main strategy controlling orange rust. The rapid spread of this recently contaminated sugarcane industries offers opportunity to use on-going breeding trials investigate effect on yield traits and gauge levels resistance required minimize losses. was first observed 2018 Reunion. This study reports effects cane (CY), recoverable sugar (RS),...
Abstract Banana breeding is hampered by the very low fertility of domesticated bananas and lack knowledge about genetic determinism agronomic traits. We analysed a population 2723 triploid hybrids resulting from crosses between diploid tetraploid Musa acuminata parents, which was evaluated over three successive crop cycles for 24 traits relating to yield components plant, bunch, fruit architectures. A subset 1129 individuals genotyped sequencing, revealing 205 612 single-nucleotide...
