The whole growth cycle of sugarcane needs a large amount of nitrogen. Increasing the application of nitrogen can improve the yield of sugarcane,but it will also cause environmental pollution. Therefore,how to control or reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer while continuously increasing sugarcane yield,reduce the increase of sugarcane production cost and environmental pollution caused by excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer has become an important scientific problem faced by sugarcane industry in China.^15N stable isotope labeling technology has been applied to many crops as a nitrogen research tool. In order to better understand the demand of nitrogen fertilizer in soil-cane system,this paper reviewed nitrogen allocation in plants,nitrogen loss,nitrogen recycling and endogenous nitrogen fixation of sugarcane based on^15N stable isotope labeling technology used in the nitrogen uptake and utilization,providing a theoretical basis for the improvement of sugarcane nitrogen use efficiency and the efficient nitrogen fertilizer management of sugarcane.展开更多

Chromosome ploidy identification is an important part of sugarcane ploidy breeding and application research. It is particularly important to find out the best detection part for ploidy identification in sugarcane. [Methods] The cell suspensions of sugarcane stem tips and leaves were prepared by blade chopping method. The cell suspensions were detected by flow cytometry. The best position for ploidy identification was determined by comparing the cell suspension prepared from stem tips and cell suspension prepared from leaves. [Results] The results showed that the cell suspension dissociated from stem tips was more clear than that from leaf cell suspension;the proportion of non-adherent cells in the suspension prepared from stem tips was larger than that from the leaf cell suspension;the main peak of the stem tip cell suspension was single and the number of cells was more than that of the stem tip cell suspension by flow cytometry. Using the known ploidy ‘Badilar’ as the internal reference, the ploidy of cyathomi 87-16 was detected to be 8.37. [Conclusions] Sugarcane shoot tips are an ideal material for ploidy identification. This study provides a theoretical basis for selecting the best detection site for ploidy identification of sugarcane.展开更多
