Sugarcane bioethanol — R&D for Productivity and Sustainability

SUGARCANE GENOMICS AND BIOTECHNOLOGY: STATE OF THE ART, CHALLENGES AND ACTIONS

Souza, Glaucia Mendes; Sluys, Marie-Anne Van;

Resumo:

Sugarcane belongs to the botanic group known as Saccharum officianale, domesticated since 7 000 BC. The process of domestication started in New Guinea from where seedlings were taken to Continental Asia. In China and India, prevailing favorable conditions allowed the development of two different species, S. sinense and S. barberi respectively. From approximately a century ago, selective breeding produced Saccharum officinarum, also known as Nobel Clones. These varieties have been progressively replaced by modern varieties from crossings between S. officinarum and S. robustum,species which currently predominate worldwide. As sugarcane is a hybrid plant, the identification of genes of greater economic interest is a laborious and lengthy process e.g. it takes about 15 years to release a new commercial variety. This gives an indication of the difficulties involved in developing new commercial varieties. In Brazil, increasing commercial pressure to improve sugarcane productivity faces the challenge to develop new varieties adapted to the different conditions in the country. For example, it is estimated that to supply internal and external demand, Brazil will have to duplicate sugarcane production within the next 5 to 7 years, requiring investment in new mills, expansion of cultivated area, increase productivity and better cane varieties etc.
