Abstract
Transcriptomics data for the Saccharinae clade are presently derived from EST projects for Saccharum, Sorghum and Miscanthus, with little known about other members of this clade. Among sugarcane EST data sets, by far the largest and most detailed is from the Brazilian SUCEST project. Rich EST resources are also available for Sorghum, although Miscanthus EST resources remain limited. The complete sequencing of the Sorghum genome led to a great improvement in this field, but the complexity of the sugarcane genome and lack of a genome sequence remain a hindrance. Comparative analysis of sorghum and sugarcane reveals a high general colinearity and gene structure conservation. Several platforms provide data on different traits and/or treatments such as brix accumulation, biotic and abiotic stress (cold and drought, for example) and tissue specificity of gene expression, shedding early light on how the control/response to these processes occurs at the gene expression level.
