Fnct CCI postpones countrywide census planned for March
Sugarcane is one of the most productive plants on Earth, providing 80 percent of the sugar and 30 percent of the bioethanol produced worldwide. Its size and efficient use of water and light give it tremendous potential for the production of renewable value-added bioproducts and biofuels.But the highly complex sugarcane genome poses challenges for conventional breeding, requiring more than a decade of trials for the develo
