Breeding values, stability, and heterotic grouping of Asian Saccharum spontaneum collection for parental selection in sugarcane program

Sugarcane breeding is constrained by a narrow genetic base, limiting progress in ratooning ability, stress tolerance, and climate resilience. Although Saccharum spontaneum harbors valuable genetic diversity, its systematic utilization in breeding remains limited by a lack of multi-environment evaluations. Therefore...
