intergeneric hybridization
1.Basing on our early stage research work about collection and description of sugarcane germplasm (saccharum complex) and the aided project of Yunnan Natural Science Fund (2001 C0015Q), the wild species Erianthus fulvus, which has good characters, cold-resistant, drought-resistant, higher Brix and less chromosome number, was utilized for the first time through intergeneric hybridization with sugarcane cultivar (Saccharum officinarum).
