“…Sugarcane fl owering is infl uenced by photoperiod, temperature, rainfall, nutritional status, soil moisture, cultivar and crop management, and is highly undesirable from the sugar production point of view (Alexander, 1973;Pereira et al, 1983). Flowering intensity and the consequences on the juice quality vary according to the interaction between the cultivar and the climate.…”

“…For the majority of sugarcane cultivars used commercially, the required photoperiod in order to induce fl owering is between 12 and 12.5 h (Pereira et al, 1983). Based on that, fl owering can be induced all year long in the producing areas close to equator while at middle latitudes ( 20 o ) fl owering induction becomes seasonal, occurring in the end of the summer when the days are shortening from 12.5 to 12 h (Clements, 1968).…”

In addition to the specifi c photoperiod condition, fl owering induction in sugarcane will depend also of temperature, which need to remain between the minimum of 18 o C and the maximum of 31 o C (Pereira et al, 1983). Despite the infl uence of climate conditions on fl owering, the intensity of this process will be also controlled by the genotype, since for the same climate conditions some cultivars present fl owers whereas others not (Shanmugavadivu and Rao, 2009).…”

The lack of information about the effects of cultivars, crop age and climate on the sugarcane (Saccharum ssp.) crop yield and quality has been the primary factor impacting the sugar-ethanol sector in Brazil. One of the processes about which we do not have a satisfactory understanding is sugarcane ripening and the effects of cultivars, crop age and climate on that. Sugarcane ripening is the process of sucrose accumulation in stalks, which is heavily infl uenced by several factors, mainly by climatic conditions such as air temperature and water defi cits. Because it is a complex process, studies of the variables involved in sugarcane ripening can provide important information, resulting in a better use of commercial cultivars, bringing advantages to growers, processing units, breeding programs and scientifi c community. In this review, we discuss the available knowledge of the interaction between climate conditions and sugarcane ripening, under the infl uence of genotypic characteristics and crop age. In several studies, the main conclusion is that sugarcane ripening depends on a complex combination of climate variables, the genetic potential of cultivars and crop management. Soil moisture and air temperature are the primary variables involved in sugarcane ripening, and their combination stimulates the intensity of the process. In addition, the need for studies integrating the effects of climate on plant physiological processes and on the use of chemical agents to stimulate sugarcane ripening is highlighted.

Four experiments were conducted at El-Sabahia (31°, 12N latitude), Alexandria, Egypt Sugar Cane Research Station to estimate the variability, heritability and flowering ability of eighty eight sugar cane germplasm. All experiments were planted in mid-March 2013 and their design was randomized complete block with three replicates. Variability in important traits among tested germplasm was estimated using genotypic and phenotypic variance in addition to genotypic and phenotypic coefficients and broad sense heritability. Flowering ability was determined using the number and percentage variation of flowering germplasm and flowering dates. The results showed that the magnitude of genotypic and environmental variance was the highest in number of millable cane character and the minimum value was found in stalk diameter in plant crop and both ratoon crops. Maximum genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation were exhibited by cane yield and number of millable cane in plant and both ratoon crops, also in single stalk weight and sugar yield in both ration crops. Among quality characters lowest values for both coefficients were obtained by purity percent in plant and both ratoon crops. In the present experiment, moderate to high heritability estimates were observed for all characters. The results indicated that the selection is more effective in plant and both ratoon crops based on yield contributing characters having high PCV, GCV and heritability along with suitable mean value. The flowering occurred in most of studied germplasm under natural environment in El-Sabahia area but the percentage of flowered germplasm differed among studied seasons. The flowering in sugarcane germplasm commenced from November and ended up to June. Most of the germplasm flowered during December at the three seasons and followed by February at plant crop, January and February at first ratoon crop and January and March at second ratoon crop. The tested germplasm were divided into 8 groups according to their flower ability.
