| Abstract: |
| Sugarcane（ Saccharum spp.） is a large-stature perennial grass that is cultivated in tropical and semitropical
regions of the world，and it is one of the most efficient crops in the world in converting energy from sunlight into
chemical energy. Global interest in sugarcane genetic improvement has increased significantly due to its economic impact
on sustainable energy and sugar production. Sugarcane traditional breeding and cultivation techniques have contributed
to a huge increase in sugarcane yield and sucrose content. In recent years，efforts to improve sugarcane have focused
on the development of biotechnology for this crop. It is very critical to know information about genetic improvement of
sugarcane for the breeder. In this paper，the progress in conventional breeding，genomics，transgenics and markerassisted
breeding for genetic improvement of sugarcane were reviewed. |
