Description
Samara Cardoso and co-authors present a 2025 study of two sugarcane genes that steer cellulose laying and plant bulk. A genome sweep found fifty kin genes in cane, grouped in eleven sets. Two, ScBC1 and its like-named kin, speak loudest in stems. Their family trees place one with wall-thickening genes and the other with first-wall genes. Switched on in a test plant's leaves, both genes grew bigger leaves and cells, the first gene most.
Quieting the maize cousin shrank bulk, cellulose, and cell size, and stirred wall gene voices. The cane-maize line thus guards a shared bulk switch. Breeders gain a named target for fatter cane. More bulk means more sugar and more fiber fuel per field.
