A SNP variation in the Sucrose synthase (<i>SoSUS</i>) gene associated with sugar-related traits in sugarcane.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is an economically significant crop for both the sugar and biofuel industries. Breeding sugarcane cultivars with high-performance agronomic traits is the most effective approach for meeting the rising demand for sugar and biofuels. Molecular markers associated with relevant agronomic traits could drastically reduce the time and resources required to develop new sugarcane varieties. Previous sugarcane candidate gene association analyses have found single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with sugar-related traits. This study aims to validate these associated SNP markers of six genes, including Lesion simulating disease 1 (LSD), Calreticulin (CALR), Sucrose synthase 1 (SUS1), DEAD
