Sugarcane or sugar cane is a species of tall, perennial grass (in the genus Saccharum, tribe Andropogoneae) that is used for sugar production. The plants are 2–6 m (6–20 ft) tall with stout, jointed, fibrous stalks that are rich in sucrose , [ 1 ] which accumulates in the stalk internodes .
Historically, sugarcane smut was first noted in 1877, in the Natal region of South Africa. The disease has been a problem in almost all countries where sugarcane is grown. Sugarcane smut did not make it to the western hemisphere until the 1940s when it reached Argentina. [23] Australia was the last major producer of sugarcane to be infected.
Arundinaria is a genus of bamboo in the grass family the members of which are referred to generally as cane. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Arundinaria is the only bamboo native to North America, with a native range from Maryland south to Florida and west to the southern Ohio Valley and Texas .
It is a more primitive form of sugarcane with a hybrid origin from Saccharum officinarum and Saccharum spontaneum species of cane. [3] [4] [5] A number of clones exists that are often included in the S. officinarum species as the Pansahi group. The most notable member of which is the Uba variety of cane.
Saccharum is a genus of tall perennial plants of the broomsedge tribe within the grass family. [5]The genus is widespread across tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate regions in Africa, Eurasia, Australia, the Americas, and assorted oceanic islands.
Saccharum officinarum is a large, strong-growing species of grass in the sugarcane genus. Its stout stalks are rich in sucrose, a disaccharide sugar which accumulates in the stalk internodes. It originated in New Guinea, [1] and is now cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries worldwide for the production of sugar, ethanol and other ...

The sugarcane varieties introduced by the institute occupy more than 90% of total sugarcane cultivated area in India. [5] The institute was involved in early research into hybridization, a first attempt to improve the subtropical types of sugarcanes.
