Since 2005, 1,025 sugarcane clones were genotyped, including 811 Louisiana, 45 Florida, 39 Texas, 130 foreign, and eight consultant/seed company clones. Genotyping was done on a fluorescence-capillary electrophoresis detection platform involving 21 highly polymorphic SSR markers that could potentially amplify 144 distinctive DNA fragments. Genotyping data were processed with the GeneMapper? software to reveal electrophoregrams that were manually checked against the 144 fragments. The presence (A) or absence (C) of these 144 fragments in any sugarcane clone was recorded in an affixed sequence order as a DNAMAN? file to represent its molecular identity being achieved into a local molecular identity database. The molecular identity database has been updated annually by continued genotyping of newly assigned sugarcane clones. The database provides molecular descriptions for new cultivar registration articles, enables sugarcane breeders to identify mis-labeled sugarcane clones in crossing programs and determine the paternity of cross progeny, and ensures the desired cultivars are grown in farmers’ fields.展开更多
The effect of different concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) with or without 0.2 mg/L NAA on in vitro regeneration of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) cultivars SP726180, B47419, M1176/77 and M2119/88 were evaluat...The effect of different concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) with or without 0.2 mg/L NAA on in vitro regeneration of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) cultivars SP726180, B47419, M1176/77 and M2119/88 were evaluated. Leaf base explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) for 4 weeks. Thereafter, induction of somatic embryogenesis was observed following the transfer of resulting calli to 2,4-D-free medium for another 4 weeks. Regeneration was achieved by transfer of the embryogenic calli to regeneration media fortified with different concentrations of BA + tt-naphthylacetic acid (NAA). The number, length and vigor of shoots produced in all the genotypes were highest on media supplemented with 1.0 and 1.5 mg/L BA with and without 0.2 mg/L NAA. Among the genotypes tested, B47419 and M1176/77 recorded highest number of shoots, while maximum shoot length and crop vigor was obtained with M1176/77. Induction of callus with 3.0 mg/L 2,4-D and its subsequent incubation on 2,4-D-free media, followed by regeneration on media supplemented with 1.0 or 1.5 mg/L BA with 0.2 mg/L NAA was found to be efficient for in vitro regeneration of the sugarcane genotypes used in this study. This protocol could be applied for micropropagation of other elite genotypes.展开更多
