Abstract
Abstract RB005014 was developed for the Brazilian central-south region, for harvesting between July and September and planting on soils that have moderate or higher fertility levels. It has high tillering, high sucrose yield, excellent ratooning ability after mechanical harvesting, resistance to the main diseases and carries the Bru1 gene of brown rust resistance.
Highlights
Modern sugarcane cultivars have a complex genome, due to large genome size arround 10 Gb, a variable ploidy level and constant aneuploidy resulting in highly heterozygous hybrids (Vieira et al 2018)
The high tillering and excellent ratooning ability of RB005014, even under mechanical harvesting, indicate the cultivar as promising. This sugarcane cultivar is suitable for mechanized planting and has good resistance levels against the major sugarcane diseases
Cultivar RB005014 was derived from a biparental cross of the full-sib genotypes SP80-1816 x RB855536 (Figure 1)
