Mason P, Hoang N, Botha F, Furtado A, Marquardt A, Henry R
BMC Genomics . 2023 Jan; 24(1):18. PMID: 36639618
Background: The importance of uridine 5'-diphosphate glucose (UDP-G) synthesis and degradation on carbon (C) partitioning has been indicated in several studies of plant systems, whereby the kinetic properties and abundance...

Perlo V, Margarido G, Botha F, Furtado A, Hodgson-Kratky K, Correr F, et al.
Theor Appl Genet . 2022 Feb; 135(5):1619-1636. PMID: 35224663
Sugarcane, with its exceptional carbon dioxide assimilation, biomass and sugar yield, has a high potential for the production of bio-energy, bio-plastics and high-value products in the food and pharmaceutical industries....

Margarido G, Correr F, Furtado A, Botha F, Henry R
Genome Res . 2021 Dec; 32(2):297-308. PMID: 34949669
Polyploidy is widespread in plants, allowing the different copies of genes to be expressed differently in a tissue-specific or developmentally specific way. This allele-specific expression (ASE) has been widely reported,...

Mason P, Furtado A, Marquardt A, Hodgson-Kratky K, Hoang N, Botha F, et al.
Biotechnol Biofuels . 2020 Dec; 13(1):201. PMID: 33298135
Background: The composition of biomass determines its suitability for different applications within a biorefinery system. The proportion of the major biomass fractions (sugar, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) may vary in...
5.
Marquardt A, Henry R, Botha F
Plant Physiol Biochem . 2020 Nov; 158:321-333. PMID: 33250321
Productivity of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) relies upon sucrose production in leaves and movement to sinks. The feedback regulatory effect of sugar upon photosynthesis balances this process involving Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase)...
6.
Perlo V, Botha F, Furtado A, Hodgson-Kratky K, Henry R
Plant Direct . 2020 Nov; 4(11):e00276. PMID: 33204934
Sugarcane, with its exceptional biomass and sugar yield, has a high potential for the production of bioenergy, biomaterials, and high-value products. Currently, the link between metabolic changes in the developing...

Rossouw D, Bosch S, Kossmann J, Botha F, Groenewald J
Funct Plant Biol . 2020 Jul; 34(6):490-498. PMID: 32689378
Suspension cultures were used as a model system to investigate sucrose metabolism in four sugarcane (Saccharum spp. interspecific hybrids) cell lines transformed with antisense neutral invertase (NI) constructs. Throughout a...

Marquardt A, Scalia G, Joyce P, Basnayake J, Botha F
Funct Plant Biol . 2020 Jun; 43(6):523-533. PMID: 32480482
Photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, electron transport, internal CO2 and sugar levels were determined in the leaves of Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) symptomatic sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) plants. Two varieties from two different...

Hoang N, Furtado A, Perlo V, Botha F, Henry R
Front Genet . 2019 Aug; 10:654. PMID: 31396260
Normalization of cDNA is widely used to improve the coverage of rare transcripts in analysis of transcriptomes employing next-generation sequencing. Recently, long-read technology has been emerging as a powerful tool...

Thirugnanasambandam P, Mason P, Hoang N, Furtado A, Botha F, Henry R
BMC Plant Biol . 2019 Apr; 19(1):160. PMID: 31023213
Background: Sugarcane accumulates very high levels of sucrose in the culm. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms that allows such high sucrose synthesis and accumulation (up to 650 mM) is made...
