Abstract

There is little published information available on the agronomic performance of herbicide resistant sugarcane. In addition, transgene stability in vegetatively propagated monocotyledonous plants has not been well documented. Acceptance of transgenic crops for commercialisation will only be possible if it can be demonstrated that the introduced foreign gene is expressed in a plant that retains its agronomic characteristics.
