“…This long history of cultivation has facilitated the generation of a diversified germplasm which includes species of the Saccharum complex (two wild, Saccharum spontaneum and Saccharum robustum , and four cultivated species, Saccharum officinarum , Saccharum sinense , Saccharum barberi and Saccharum edule ) and four interbreeding genera ( Erianthus , Miscanthus , Narenga and Sclerostachya ). Collections currently include interspecific hybrids, commercial cultivars and elite clones (see Barreto et al, 2021; Cursi et al, 2022).…”

The modern cultivars of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) are highly polyploid and accumulate aneuploidies due to their history of domestication, genetic improvement and interspecific hybrid origin involving the domesticated sweet species Saccharum officinarum (‘noble cane’) and the wild Saccharum spontaneum, both with an evolutionary history of polyploidy. The first hybrids were backcrossed with S. officinarum, and selection from progenies in subsequent generations established the genetic basis of modern cultivars. Saccharum genome complexity has inspired several molecular studies that have elucidated aspects of sugarcane genome constitution, architecture and cytogenetics. Herein, we conducted a comparative analysis of the meiotic behaviour of representatives of the parentals S. officinarum and S. spontaneum, and the commercial variety, SP80‐3280. S. officinarum, an octoploid species, exhibited regular meiotic behaviour. In contrast, S. spontaneum and SP80‐3280 exhibited several abnormalities from metaphase I to the end of division. We reported and typified, for the first time, the occurrence of peri‐ and paracentric inversions. Using in‐situ hybridisation techniques, we were able to determine how pairing association occurred at diakinesis, the origin of lagging chromosomes and, in particular, the mitotic chromosome composition of SP80‐3280. Interestingly, S. spontaneum and recombinant chromosomes showed the most marked tendency to produce laggards in both divisions. Future attempts to advance knowledge on sugarcane genetics and genomics should take meiotic chromosome behaviour information into account.

“…Breeding programs play a crucial role in genotype screening for disease resistance. However, sugarcane breeders face significant challenges simultaneously introducing resistance to all pathogens [42]. Therefore, biotechnological strategies have been developed to produce commercial clones with superior agronomic traits; these genetic modifications are summarized in Table 2.…”

Sugarcane, a vital cash crop, contributes significantly to the world’s sugar supply and raw materials for biofuel production, playing a significant role in the global sugar industry. However, sustainable productivity is severely hampered by biotic and abiotic stressors. Genetic engineering has been used to transfer useful genes into sugarcane plants to improve desirable traits and has emerged as a basic and applied research method to maintain growth and productivity under different adverse environmental conditions. However, the use of transgenic approaches remains contentious and requires rigorous experimental methods to address biosafety challenges. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) mediated genome editing technology is growing rapidly and may revolutionize sugarcane production. This review aims to explore innovative genetic engineering techniques and their successful application in developing sugarcane cultivars with enhanced resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses to produce superior sugarcane cultivars.

“…hybrids) is one of the most promising industrial crops in the world (Kandel et al, 2018), originating in southern Asia in India, China, and New Guinea in the South Pacific, with a history of cultivation dating back about 10,000 years to New Guinea (Zhang et al, 2018). Initially, it was only grown in a few tropical countries, but with the recent breeding of superior varieties such as 'POJ2878', 'NCo310', 'Co281', 'F134' and 'ROC22', the cultivation has rapidly expanded to subtropical and even warm-temperate regions (Bhatt, 2020;Cursi et al, 2022a). Sugarcane is now cultivated in more than one hundred countries and regions, covering a total area of about 26 million hectares, with an annual production of 1.9 billion tons of fresh sugarcane, occupying nearly 80% sugar and 40% bioethanol of the world, with a total output value of $80 billion (FAO, 2021).…”

Sugarcane is the most important sugar and energy crop in the world. During sugarcane breeding, technology is the requirement and methods are the means. As we know, seed is the cornerstone of the development of the sugarcane industry. Over the past century, with the advancement of technology and the expansion of methods, sugarcane breeding has continued to improve, and sugarcane production has realized a leaping growth, providing a large amount of essential sugar and clean energy for the long-term mankind development, especially in the face of the future threats of world population explosion, reduction of available arable land, and various biotic and abiotic stresses. Moreover, due to narrow genetic foundation, serious varietal degradation, lack of breakthrough varieties, as well as long breeding cycle and low probability of gene polymerization, it is particularly important to realize the leapfrog development of sugarcane breeding by seizing the opportunity for the emerging Breeding 4.0, and making full use of modern biotechnology including but not limited to whole genome selection, transgene, gene editing, and synthetic biology, combined with information technology such as remote sensing and deep learning. In view of this, we focus on sugarcane breeding from the perspective of technology and methods, reviewing the main history, pointing out the current status and challenges, and providing a reasonable outlook on the prospects of smart breeding.
