Abstract
In the past few years, approaches such as molecular cytogenetics and the use of molecular
markers have permitted significant advances in the establishment of the evolutionary
origin and genome structure of sugarcane, an important polyploid crop. The availability
of new resources, such as a bacterial artificial chromosome library and a huge collection
of expressed sequence tags, has opened the gateway to promising functional analyses
on a genomic scale.
