Success tastes sweet | Sugarcane's complex genetic code has been cracked

08/04/2024

The full sugarcane genome has finally been revealed. The results of work to sequence the plant, which accounts for 80% of the sugar produced worldwide, were published in Nature on 27 March. The five-year operation was the fruit of international collaboration between CIRAD (France), the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) (United States) and CSIRO and QAAFI (Australia).

Annals of Botany: Shared pedigree relationships and transmission of unreduced gametes in cultivated banana

31/08/2023

Cultivated bananas are natural inter-(sub-)specific hybrids selected by man centuries ago. Characterization of the parentage relationships between current cultivars using a "whole genome" approach showed that they were derived from different types of gametes, reduced or not, and recombined or not, mainly generated by diploid or triploid cultivated parents. This work also illustrates the particular involvement of a diploid cultivar, Mchare, which transmitted its complete, non-recombined genome to the main triploid dessert banana plants currently grown.
