Researches of Drought-resistance Related Genes in Sugarcane

Drought is the most important stress factor significantling destroying the normal growth and sucrose accumulation of sugarcane. Solving the sugarcane production under drought condition is an emergent issue in practice. In recent years, many drought-resistance related genes of sugarcane have been cloned which are important resources for breeding sugarcane with drought-resistance. This paper is aimsed to provide a review of these functional genes for drought tolerance and the activity of their application in drought tolerance.
