Identification and Characterization of Key Genes for Nitrogen Utilization from <i>Saccharum spontaneum</i> Sub-Genome in Modern Sugarcane Cultivar.

ABSTRACT: Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is globally considered an important crop for sugar and biofuel production. During sugarcane production, the heavy reliance on chemical nitrogen fertilizer has resulted in low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and high loss. Up until now, there has been extensive research on the transcriptomic dynamics during sugarcane response to low nitrogen (LN) stress. However, the specific contribution of S. spontaneum to the NUE of modern sugarcane remains unclear. In the present study, the comparative transcriptome analysis of two contrasting sugarcane cultivars in response to nitrogen deficiency was performed via the combination of genomes of S. spontaneum and S. officinarum. Sub-genome analysis indicated that S. spontaneum supports the high
