MicroRNAs and their Role in Breeding Programs for Sugarcane Improvement
摘要
Sugarcane miRNAs play several regulatory roles, including abiotic stress responses, disease resistance, and metabolic control. Understanding these roles provides insights into sugarcane biology and opens avenues for improving sugarcane cultivars through biotechnological approaches to enhance stress tolerance and yield. Additional research is required to fully elucidate the specific miRNAs involved and also their mechanisms of action in this economically important crop. These findings emphasize the significance of miRNA-mediated control in the drought response of sugarcane, a key bioenergy crop, and provide valuable insights for developing drought-tolerant sugarcane cultivars.
