Description
Yanrong Tao, Meiyan Chen, Shanrui Tang, and Xiping Yang map a lignin-related gene family across the sugarcane genome in a 2026 analysis. Lignin stiffens cane stalks and affects how easily leftover fiber converts to fuel and products. The target enzyme helps build lignin units. Genome scans found hundreds of related genes, grouped them, and compared their control switches with activity patterns across tissues and times.
A total of 663 genes including copies spread across 77 chromosomes and fell into six groups with similar internal structures. Each group carried a distinct mix of control switches for light, hormones, and stress. Light-linked switches tracked positively with gene activity, and switch patterns matched activity patterns under cross-checks. The authors present the map as a starting point for breeding cane with friendlier fiber.
