Understanding the complex inner workings of organisms like sorghum and sugarcane is essential for advancements in agriculture, biofuel production, and various other fields. Genomic resources like pan-transcriptomes play a pivotal role in unlocking this knowledge by providing a comprehensive view of gene expression across diverse genotypes.
Sugarcane plays a fundamental role in Brazilian agriculture, particularly in the production of bioenergy through the synthesis and accumulation of sucrose for first-generation ethanol production, as well as the use of its biomass for electricity generation or second-generation ethanol.
Sugarcane is a widely cultivated plant within Poaceae, which fixates CO2 via C4 photosynthesis. Sugarcane is one of the most important crops around the world, as it is the main source for common sugar, bioenergy and other bioproducts.
