In this book, the information encompasses various researchable biotechnology aspects of sugarcane, its genomic structure, diversity, comparative and structural genomics, data mining, etc. This book explores both the theoretical and practical aspects of sugarcane crops, focusing on innovative processes. This book argues in favor of developing an integrated research and development system to strengthen the research and development capabilities of all the areas of sugarcane. Further, it covers the recent trends of sugarcane biotechnology, especially in the next-generation sequencing (NGS) era. This book will be very useful for professors and scientists who are working in the area of sugarcane crops by using molecular biology and bioinformatics. It is also useful for students to use as a reference for their classes or thesis projects.

Key features:
