Study dissected gene expression in sugarcane hybrids for high biomass. Highlighted roles of plant hormones in growth regulation, specifically IAA, JA, and ABA pathways. Potential for producing high biomass biofuel varieties through genetic engineering.
Sugarcane is traditionally used as a tonic and fatigue-fighting remedy. Preclinical studies in rats show that sugarcane leaf extract affects the central nervous and cardiovascular systems through dopaminergic pathways, potentially improving motor, emotional, and cognitive functions.
Scientists discovered male sterility genes in sugarcane through RNAseq analysis, with 988 genes and 2888 alleles showing differential expression. Ten genes and thirty alleles were identified as male sterility candidates, aiding in cultivar breeding.
Researchers studied fruit waste as a source of bioactive compounds. This could lead to new, affordable ways to obtain valuable materials for research and product development in the lab.
Researchers are utilizing genome editing techniques like CRISPR/Cas to enhance crop yields and resilience in harsh climates, including in sugarcane. This advances agriculture and addresses challenges posed by changing climates and global population growth.
Sugarcane top extract activates mitochondrial energy metabolism and increases PGC-1α levels in muscle and liver cells. This may have positive effects on tissue health and could have nutraceutical applications.
Researchers found that treatment of influenza A virus (IAV)-infected cells with polyphenol rich sugarcane extract (PRSE) inhibited virus infection without causing harm. PRSE limited viral replication, protein expression, and mRNA transcription, and was effective against multiple IAV strains. PRSE could be a potential alternative treatment for IAV.
Researchers have identified an efficient method to extract valuable compounds from filter cake, offering potential applications in obtaining fatty alcohols and phytosterols. The optimized method preserved antioxidant activity, making it suitable for filter cake utilization.
Scientists analyzed gene expression in sugarcane hybrids and found they displayed beneficial traits such as high sugar content and disease resistance. Specific transcripts related to sugar transporters, invertases, and cellulose were identified, suggesting potential for further enhancement.
