Sugarcane is an important crop for many countries around the world. Investment in breeding efforts remains the best approach for maximizing productivity of sugarcane. However, due to the biological complexity of this crop, sugarcane breeding can benefit a lot from the use of non-conventional methods. In particular, genetic engineering can not only shorten the period of time and reduce costs to produce an improved sugarcane line, but it can also incorporate to sugarcane genome new important agronomic traits that are absent in the natural germplasm of this species such as, resistance to pests or herbicides.
