Sugarcane breeding in Argentina • Breeding Centres • INTA, National Institute of Agricultural Technology. • Exp.Station of Famaillá (1) • Obispo Colombres Exp. Station (2) • “Chacra Exp.” of Colonia Santa Rosa (3) • The Objectives sugarcane breeding program at INTA • - Provide cultivars well adapted to different environments with high biomass. • - Improve the productivity in the area of the potential expansion. • - Resistance to biotic and abiotic factors. • - Industrial quality for different applications (on sugar yield and fiber content,…) (3) (2) (1)

The genealogies of 16 sugarcane cultivars have been reconstructed S. officinarum genetic background is present in greater proportion S. spontaneum (high fiber content) absent immediately prior to selection LCP 85-384 has genes from 3 cultivars of Sorghum bicolor The limited % of founding species reveal the narrow genetic base Acevedo et al, Euphytica. 2017
Industrial parameters and agronomic yield of sixteen sugarcane cultivars. Industrial parameters indicated that cultivarswere selected high sucrose content and sugar yield, low fiber content Acevedo et al, Euphytica. 2017
Breeding for higher fiber will require the exploitation of available high fiber clones and new sources of variability. Mutation-based breeding is being explored at Agricultural Experimental Station of Famaillá (INTA), and tissue culture Di Pauli V. et al., 2017
