TL;DR: Findings confirm suggest that excess Zn adversely affects root growth and mitotic efficiency, enhances chromosomal aberrations and increases growth and nutrient accumulation abnormalities, as well as oxidative stress in sugarcane plants.

TL;DR: The results indicate that poor sprouting of stubble buds at low temperatures appears to be due to a reduced availability of reducing sugars concomitant with a lower activity of acid invertase, and an increased level of IAA together with toxicity build-up in situ due to an accumulation of total phenols may be responsible for the maintenance of dormancy in stubble bud at low temperature.

TL;DR: This study aims at improving sprouting and establishment of bud chip seed stocks of sugarcane by pre-planting soaking in growth promoting chemicals and recorded higher bud sprouting, root number, fresh weight of shoot and roots and plant vigor index.

TL;DR: This comprehensive review summarizes the isolation of chemical compounds reported during the period 1908 to June 2010 and will benefit a large number of researchers in the fields of chemistry, botany, drug industries and pharmacology.

TL;DR: Examination of the effect of short term water deficit on physiological attributes and expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD), and P5CS (pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase) genes using two sugarcane varieties indicated increased proline content in leaf tissues with an increase in duration of water deficit; highest increase was observed at 72 h of water deficits.
