Advances in Sugarcane Research: From Molecular Insights to Field Applications: Volume 119

Advances in Sugarcane Research: From Molecular Insights to Field Applications presents a comprehensive and integrative overview of contemporary sugarcane science, bridging fundamental discoveries with crop modeling and climate change. As one of the world's most important crops for sugar and bioenergy production.

This volume brings together leading experts to explore advances across multiple scales of research--from genomics, molecular biology, and genetic improvement to plant physiology, stress responses, and crop management. Emerging approaches such as omics technologies, artificial intelligence, and functional genomics are addressed as a way to transform sugarcane breeding and accelerating the development of climate-resilient cultivars. In addition to molecular and physiological perspectives, the book addresses key aspects of agronomy, including plant nutrition, soil constraints, root system dynamics, and sustainable management practices. Special attention is given to abiotic stresses such as drought and ozone, as well as their underlying mechanisms and implications for sugarcane growth. The integration of crop modeling and agrometeorology further provides tools for predicting crop performance and supporting decision-making under limiting environmental conditions. Overall, this volume aims to serve as a key reference for understanding current progress and future directions in sugarcane research.
