Sugarcane is a very useful industrial crop grown in India for its economic importance and various applications of products and byproduct to industry. It has a wide range of genetic diversity which provides a tremendous scope for genetic improvement of economic traits. An improvement in cane yield and quality characters in sugarcane crop is normally achieved by selecting the genotypes with desirable character combinations existing in nature or by hybridization. Hence, the information in a collection of some genotypes of sugarcane in order to formulate a sound breeding plan for its improvement has been reviewed here.

Abstract


Sugarcane is a very useful industrial crop grown in India for its economic importance and various applications of products and byproduct to industry. It has a wide range of genetic diversity which provides a tremendous scope for genetic improvement of economic traits. An improvement in cane yield and quality characters in sugarcane crop is normally achieved by selecting the genotypes with desirable character combinations existing in nature or by hybridization. Hence, the information in a collection of some genotypes of sugarcane in order to formulate a sound breeding plan for its improvement has been reviewed here.
