Registration of ‘CPCL 00‐4111’ Sugarcane

Abstract

‘CPCL 00‐4111’ (Reg. No. CV‐144, PI 660673) sugarcane (a complex hybrid of Saccharum spp.) is the latest in a series of commercial sugarcane cultivar releases developed by the United States Sugar Corporation (USSC) and completed by the cooperative Canal Point sugarcane breeding and selection program, which included the USDA‐ARS, the University of Florida, and the Florida Sugar Cane League, Inc. CPCL 00‐4111, which was released in Florida on 18 Feb. 2011, was selected from a cross of genotype CL 83‐3431 × CL 89‐5189 made at Clewiston, FL on 4 Dec. 1998. The female and male parents, CL 83‐3431 and CL 89‐5189, respectively, are proprietary genotypes of USSC. CPCL 00‐4111 was released because of its high cane yield and commercial recoverable sucrose on organic (muck) soils and because of its resistance to brown rust (caused by Puccinia melanocephala H. & P. Sydow), orange rust (caused by Puccinia kuehnii E.J. Butler), smut (caused by Ustilago scitaminea H. & P. Sydow), and Sugarcane mosaic virus strain E (the causal agent of mosaic), as well as its moderate resistance to leaf scald [caused by Xanthomonas albilineans (Ashby) Dowson]. All of these diseases are of economic importance to sugarcane production in Florida.
