cultivated varieties of sugarcane is very less
compared to other wild species of sugarcane. Some of the
popular varieties of Hawaii were immensely benefited from
this wild species but only the Port Moresby type could find
a place in the ancestry. In India also, some of the recent Co
canes have the improved clones of S. robustum in their
pedigree. This paper discusses the characterization of
interspecific progenies generated from polycross on two
clones S. robustum forma sanguineum (red fleshed S.
robustum) and their potential in the crop improvement
programme of sugarcane. This is the first report of utilization
of the red fleshed S. robustum clones in breeding
programme of sugarcane. The progenies developed possess
high variability for morphological and yield traits with
considerable improvement over the S. robustum parents.
The variability generated will be of utmost importance in
crop improvement programme of sugarcane as the world
gene bank holds only very limited variability for this group
of plants (2n = 60) which are characterized by gigantic
growth and red coloured flesh.
