Sugarcane, a C
4 plant, provides most of the world's sugar, and a substantial amount of renewable bioenergy, due to its unique sugar-accumulating and feedstock properties. Brazil, India, China, and Thailand are the four largest sugarcane producers worldwide, and the crop has the potential to be grown in arid and semi-arid regions if its stress tolerance can be improved. Modern sugarcane cultivars which exhibit a greater extent of polyploidy and agronomically important traits, such as high sugar concentration, biomass production, and stress tolerance, are regulated by complex mechanisms. Molecular techniques have revolutionized our understanding of the interactions between genes, proteins, and metabolites, and have aided in the identification of the key regulators of diverse traits. This review discusses various molecular techniques for dissecting the mechanisms underlying the sugarcane response to biotic and abiotic stresses. The comprehensive characterization of sugarcane's response to various stresses will provide targets and resources for sugarcane crop improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
