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 .
Sugarcane plants are ratoon, meaning the plant resprouts after it is harvested providing the next crop. [27] Because of this perennial nature, a total crop failure can lead to the need to replant a field. Now, it is typical to replace areas that have been infected with resistant varieties of sugarcane.
Saccharum officinarum, a perennial plant, grows in clumps consisting of a number of strong unbranched stems. A network of rhizomes forms under the soil which sends up secondary shoots near the parent plant. The stems vary in colour, being green, pinkish, or purple and can reach 5 metres (16 feet) in height.
None of those were bad for their health. These days, "seed oil" is more of a pejorative term than a technical definition, referring to oils high in omega-6 fatty acid, including: Canola
Phytoplasma-infected sugarcane plants show a proliferation of tillers, which give it typical grassy appearance, hence the name grassy shoot disease. The leaves of infected plants do not produce chlorophyll, and therefore appear white or creamy yellow. The leaf veins turn white first as the phytoplasma resides in leaf phloem tissue.
This was a bit expensive but they also bred some resistant crossed varieties of sugarcane. Soltwedel died in 1889. Further crossing to obtain sereh resistant varieties were begun in 1893 by Jan Hendrik Wakker who crossed Kassoer (thought to be a hybrid of S. officinarum with S. spontaneum) with noble sugar cane S. officinarum.
