An assessment of the genetic diversity within a collection ofSaccharum spontaneum L. with RAPD-PCR
A local collection of 33Saccharum spontaneum L. clones and two sugarcane cultivars (LCP 82-89 and LCP 85-384) were assessed for genetic variability using random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR. A total of 15...

An Assessment of the Phylogenetic Relationship Among Sugarcane and Related Taxa Based on the Nucleotide Sequence of 5S rRNA Intergenic Spacers
5S rRNA intergenic spacers were amplified from two elite sugarcane (Saccharumhybrids) cultivars and their related taxa by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with 5S rDNA consensus primers. Resulting PCR products wer...

Cytogenetic analyses of sugarcane relatives (Andropogoneae: Saccharinae)
Meiosis was studied in 31 wild Saccharum relatives, including Erianthus (8 clones), Miscanthus (5 clones), Narenga prophyrocoma (1 clone), S. robustum (3 clones), and S. spontaneum (14 clones). Chromosome number ...
