Abstract

Sugarcane is a commercial crop, due to high level of sugar accumulation it is a good source for bioelectricity and bioethanol. This crop is affected by both abiotic and biotic stress. Increasing vulnerability of crops to a wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses can have a marked influence on the growth and yield of major crops, especially sugarcane (Saccharum spp.). Abiotic stresses, such as drought, high temperature, and salinity, affect plant growth and productivity. Most common abiotic stress is water deficit; hence drought tolerant breed is an imperative for all countries that involved in major sugar cane production. This review summarizes the physiological and molecular studies on water deficit stress in sugarcane, with the aim to help formulate more effective research strategies for advancing our knowledge on genes and mechanisms underpinning plant response to water stress. It also overviews transgenic studies in sugarcane, with an emphasis on the potential strategies to develop superior sugarcane varieties that improve crop productivity in drought-prone environments.
