A Gene approach on Sugarcane growth and production: Mini review

The importance of sugarcane as commercial crop has long been known thing. The present review through a light on the genes with different functional properties and mechanism of action. The productivity and growth of sugarcane both dependent on the genes. The high yield of sugar, amino acids, micro and macronutrient absorption in sugarcane crop is systematically reviewed. Further, totally 13 genes have been characterized, SUC Gene Family, SuSy, SAI, PPDK, CT Gene Family, CRT/DRE,COR15a, Mischanthus-specific PPDK,CDPK,TRICH Gene Family, GL1, GL2, TTG1. Concluded that the functional genes are to taken into explanation along with field conditions, such as area of growth, moisture, water facility and availability of sunlight, micro ¯o nutrient accessibility, use of pesticides and other physical and chemical parameters.
