Abstract
Sugarcane is being recognized as major source of sugar in the world. Identification of high sucrose clones endowed with other agronomic traits can be speedup with the help of specific molecular markers target region amplified polymorphism (TRAP). Results revealed that clone AEC81-0819 possesses high sucrose gene, tolerant to cold conditions and dehydrating conditions followed by L116. High activity of soluble acid invertase was observed in NIA98 and minimum was recorded in LRK-2001. Agronomic data showed that clone AEC81-0819 out yielded all clones in trial for commercial cane sucrose percent (CCS).
