Project Goals: Our long term goal is to establish a new paradigm to accelerate energy cane breeding programs and maximize the biomass yield for biofuel production. Our specific objectives are: (1) Phenotyping extreme segregants of the F2 population for exploring the molecular basis of high biomass yield from transgressive segregation; (2) Mapping genes affecting biomass yield by transcriptome sequencing of the extreme segregants; (3) Identifying differentially expressed genes and alleles through analyses of transcriptomes of extreme segregants from the F2 population; (4) Developing geneand allele-specific markers for implementation of marker-assisted selection in energy cane breeding programs.
