Prolonged intensive agricultural practices have caused substantial losses of soil carbon and nitrogen pools, contributing to soil degradation and increased greenhouse gas emissions, thereby posing significant threats to agricultural sustainability. Crop rotation represents a crucial agricultural practice for maintaining soil sustainability and promoting long-term soil health. Well-designed crop rotation systems can effectively maintain soil fertility, enhance agricultural resource utilization efficiency, and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, thereby generating significant ecological and economic benefits. The integration of legume green manure into rotations offers particular promise due to its nitrogen fixing capacity and soil health benefits. However, owing to the inherent complexity of soil systems and their multifunctionality, a comprehensive theoretical framework for soil carbon sequestration and emission reduction within legume green manure rotation systems remains to be established. This review systematically examines the impact of legume green manure on key factors and processes controlling soil carbon dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions within rotation systems. We synthesize current knowledge on the underlying mechanisms and identify critical research gaps. Future research should focus on the following key aspects to advance our understanding and application of legume green manure in rotation systems: (i) clarifying the synergistic physico-chemical-biological mechanisms of soil carbon sequestration mediated by legume green manure; (ii) investigating the impact of legume green manure on carbon sequestration and emission reduction in deep soil layers; (iii) enhancing quantitative analysis of carbon-nitrogen cycling dynamics using advanced techniques like isotope tracing; (iv) conducting comparative studies on regional variations in the effects of legume green manure; and (v) advancing mechanization and precision management technologies for legume green manure integration.

长期的集约农业做法造成了土壤碳氮库的大量损失，导致土壤退化和温室气体排放增加，从而对农业的可持续性构成重大威胁。作物轮作是维持土壤可持续性和促进土壤长期健康的重要农业做法。设计合理的轮作制度可以有效保持土壤肥力，提高农业资源利用效率，减少温室气体排放，从而产生显著的生态效益和经济效益。由于豆科绿肥的固氮能力和土壤健康效益，将其纳入轮作中提供了特别的希望。然而，由于土壤系统固有的复杂性和多功能性，豆科绿肥轮作系统中土壤固碳减排的综合理论框架尚未建立。本文系统地研究了豆科绿肥对轮作系统内控制土壤碳动态和温室气体排放的关键因素和过程的影响。我们综合了当前关于潜在机制的知识，并确定了关键的研究空白。未来的研究重点应集中在以下几个方面，以促进我们对豆科绿肥在轮作系统中的认识和应用：(1)阐明豆科绿肥对土壤固碳的物理-化学-生物协同机制；（ii）研究豆科绿肥对深层土壤固碳减排的影响；（三）利用同位素示踪等先进技术加强碳氮循环动力学定量分析；（iv）对豆科绿肥效果的区域差异进行比较研究；（五）推进豆科绿肥一体化机械化和精细化管理技术。

To investigate the impact of brassinolide (BR) and sodium nitrophenolate (CNS) applied during the growth period on the aroma profile of stored Huangguan pear, this study utilized headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) in combination with two-dimensional gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS) technology to obtain the aroma fingerprint of Huangguan pear. The results revealed that both BR and CNS inhibited the formation of volatile substances; the inhibition produced by CNS was weaker than that by BR prior to the mid-storage period; the accumulation brought by BR was stronger than that by CNS in the later storage stage. BR and CNS significantly modified the aroma characteristics, and were not beneficial for enhancing the flavor quality of Huangguan pear. This research elaborated in detail on the effects of BR and CNS on the flavor characteristics of pear fruits during storage, providing significant theoretical support for the applicability of plant growth regulators in production.

为研究油菜素内酯（BR）和硝基酚酸钠（CNS）对贮藏黄冠梨香气特征的影响，采用顶空固相微萃取（HS-SPME）结合二维气相色谱/飞行时间质谱（GC × GC- tofms）技术建立了黄冠梨香气指纹图谱。结果表明，BR和CNS均能抑制挥发性物质的形成；贮藏中期前，CNS的抑制作用弱于BR；在贮藏后期，BR带来的积累要强于CNS带来的积累。BR和CNS对黄冠梨的香气特性有显著的改善作用，但对提高黄冠梨的风味品质不利。本研究详细阐述了BR和CNS对梨果实贮藏过程中风味特性的影响，为植物生长调节剂在生产中的适用性提供了重要的理论支持。

The increasing global prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the limitations of current treatments have spurred the quest for safe and efficient alternatives. Marine algae polysaccharides (MAP), obtained from brown, red and green algae, have emerged as promising natural candidates due to their diverse structures, bioavailability and varied biological activities. This review offers a thorough analysis of the potential of MAP in combating T2DM, covering their extraction, identification, molecular mechanisms and structure-activity relationships. The study commences by outlining the classification, structural features, advanced extraction and purification methods of MAP. The core of the review systematically explains the multifaceted mechanisms through which MAP combat T2DM, such as inhibiting digestive enzymes, improving insulin sensitivity through key pathways, safeguarding pancreatic β-cells and modulating gut microbiota-host metabolism. Additionally, the study explores structure-activity relationships, emphasizing how factors such as molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, glycosidic linkages, conformation and chemical modifications significantly impact their ability to lower blood sugar levels. Key findings indicate that low-to-moderate molecular weight (Mw) MAP with high sulfation degree and fucose/galactose enrichment exhibit superior enzyme inhibitory and insulin-sensitizing effects, while high-Mw fractions excel in gut microbiota modulation via fermentation. This review establishes a comprehensive and translational theoretical framework that bridges fundamental polysaccharide research with high-impact biomedical applications, offering crucial insights to guide the rational design and translational advancement of MAP-based therapies or nutraceuticals for managing T2DM.

2型糖尿病（T2DM）的全球患病率不断上升，以及目前治疗方法的局限性促使人们寻求安全有效的替代方案。从褐藻、红藻和绿藻中提取的海藻多糖（MAP）因其结构多样、生物利用度高、生物活性多样而成为很有前景的天然候选物质。本文综述了MAP在T2DM治疗中的潜力，包括其提取、鉴定、分子机制和构效关系。介绍了MAP的分类、结构特点、提取纯化方法。该综述的核心系统地解释了MAP对抗T2DM的多方面机制，如抑制消化酶，通过关键途径改善胰岛素敏感性，保护胰腺β细胞和调节肠道微生物-宿主代谢。此外，本研究探讨了结构-活性关系，强调分子量、单糖组成、糖苷键、构象和化学修饰等因素如何显著影响其降低血糖水平的能力。关键研究结果表明，低至中等分子量（Mw）的MAP具有高硫酸化程度和焦糖/半乳糖富集，具有较好的酶抑制和胰岛素增敏作用，而高分子量的MAP在通过发酵调节肠道微生物群方面表现出色。本综述建立了一个全面的转化理论框架，将基础多糖研究与高影响力的生物医学应用联系起来，为指导基于map的T2DM治疗或营养品的合理设计和转化进步提供了重要见解。

The presence of anti-nutritional factors (ANF) in legumes is an important challenge towards a higher incorporation of beans in our diet. In soybeans, the oligosaccharides belonging to the raffinose family (RFO), stachyose, raffinose and verbascose, are of interest, as they are resistant to heating treatments and limit the use of soybeans in high value food and feed applications. To overcome these constrains, low RFO-lines have been recently developed.

This study, carried out over 2 growing seasons, evaluated new pre-commercial low-RFO cultivars (cvs), conventional genotypes destined for food use, and other added-value cvs, for agronomic traits and seed composition, with particular focus on oligosaccharides and trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA). The total content of RFO in low-RFO cvs was very low in both growing seasons, with values of less than 0.4 and 0.2 g 100 g⁻¹ in 2022 and 2023, respectively. In comparison to the average concentration present in the other genotypes, the total concentration of RFO in these new cvs was six and eleven times lower in 2022 and 2023, respectively. In both years, the low-RFO cvs reported a yield potential, similar or higher than that of the control genotypes belonging to the same maturity group; furthermore, they showed a good seed dimension and test weight, and a high protein content (>42 %). Low-RFO cvs had TIA comparable to those of the conventional genotypes. In conclusion, new low-RFO cvs can provide compositions for high added-value applications with specific requirements, showing also high protein levels and good agronomic performance.

豆类中抗营养因子（ANF）的存在是对豆类在我们饮食中更高含量的重要挑战。在大豆中，属于棉子糖家族（RFO）的低聚糖（水苏糖、棉子糖和毛蕊糖）受到关注，因为它们对加热处理具有抗性，限制了大豆在高价值食品和饲料中的应用。为了克服这些限制，最近开发了低rfo线。本研究历时2个生长季节，评估了新的商业化前低rfo品种（cvs）、用于食用的传统基因型和其他增值品种（cvs）的农艺性状和种子组成，特别关注低聚糖和胰蛋白酶抑制剂活性（TIA）。低RFO cv的总RFO含量在两个生长季节都很低，在2022年和2023年分别小于0.4和0.2 g 100 g−1。与其他基因型的平均浓度相比，这些新cv中RFO的总浓度在2022年和2023年分别降低了6倍和11倍。在这两年中，低rfo品种报告的产量潜力与属于同一成熟度组的对照基因型相似或更高；此外，它们表现出良好的种子尺寸和试验重量，蛋白质含量高（> 42%）。低rfo cvs的TIA与传统基因型相当。综上所述，新型低rfo组合物可为特定要求的高附加值应用提供组合物，且具有较高的蛋白质水平和良好的农艺性能。

Climate shocks are reshaping food price dynamics in India, with implications for macroeconomic stability and stabilization policy. This study estimates the dynamic effects of droughts, extreme temperatures, floods, and storms on food inflation using annual data for 1970–2024 and the local projections framework (horizons k = 0 … 5). Climate shocks are measured both as (i) binary event indicators and (ii) population-adjusted intensity (deaths per 100,000), winsorized and standardized. Estimation uses OLS with HAC/Newey–West standard errors and controls for inflation persistence, lagged shocks, output gap, monetary conditions, and external-sector variables. Results show strong heterogeneity across shock types. In intensity specifications, drought intensity raises cumulative food inflation in the medium run, becoming significantly positive by k = 3 (β = 0.5245∗∗∗) and peaking at k = 4 (β = 1.2154∗∗∗), with a still-positive effect at k = 5 (β = 0.4626∗∗∗). Flood intensity produces short-run disinflation (k = 1: β = −1.5215∗∗) but turns positive by k = 5 (β = 1.1597∗), consistent with stabilization policy followed by delayed catch-up. Storm intensity shows short-run disinflation (k = 1: β = −1.1304∗∗; k = 2: β = −1.2764∗) while extreme temperature intensity is negative and significant at k = 2 (β = −0.9971∗∗). State-dependent estimates indicate materially different transmission in slack conditions, reinforcing the role of macro context in climate–price pass-through. Policy implications emphasize drought-resilience investments (irrigation, climate-resilient seeds, buffer stocks), rapid post-flood logistics restoration, and explicit integration of climate risk into inflation forecasting and food-market stabilization.

气候冲击正在重塑印度的粮食价格动态，对宏观经济稳定和稳定政策产生影响。本研究使用1970-2024年的年度数据和当地预测框架（视界k = 0…5）估计了干旱、极端温度、洪水和风暴对食品通胀的动态影响。气候冲击以(i)二元事件指标和（ii）人口调整强度（每10万人死亡人数）进行计量，并进行了加权和标准化。估计使用具有HAC/ new - west标准误差的OLS，并控制通货膨胀持续性、滞后冲击、产出缺口、货币状况和外部部门变量。结果显示不同类型的冲击具有很强的异质性。在强度规格中，干旱强度在中期提高了累积食品通货膨胀，在k = 3 （β = 0.5245∗∗）时变为显著正值，在k = 4 （β = 1.2154∗∗）时达到峰值，在k = 5 （β = 0.4626∗∗）时仍然具有正效应。洪水强度产生短期反通货膨胀（k = 1: β = - 1.5215∗），但在k = 5 （β = 1.1597∗）时转为正通货膨胀，这与随后的延迟追赶的稳定政策一致。风暴强度表现出短期的反膨胀（k = 1: β =−1.1304 * *;k = 2: β =−1.2764 * *），而极端温度强度在k = 2时为负且显著（β =−0.9971 * *）。依赖于国家的估计表明，在疲软条件下的传输有很大不同，这加强了宏观环境在气候价格传递中的作用。政策影响强调抗旱投资（灌溉、气候适应型种子、缓冲库存）、灾后物流快速恢复，以及将气候风险明确纳入通胀预测和粮食市场稳定。

Online detection method for rice processing quality based on DSS-YOLOv8: Application to the hulling stage 基于DSS-YOLOv8的稻米加工品质在线检测方法：在脱壳阶段的应用

The rice huller, which removes husks from paddy grains using counter-rotating rubber rollers, is a critical component in rice processing. However, roller wear inevitably enlarges the roller gap, reducing the hulling rate and increasing kernel breakage. Current quality control relies on periodic manual inspection and parameter adjustment, a process that is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and lacks real-time responsiveness. To address these limitations, this study developed an integrated online detection system that combines automated feeding, impurity removal, image acquisition, and real-time quality indicator calculation. A customized detection model, DSS-YOLOv8, was designed by enhancing the YOLOv8 architecture with Dense blocks, Shuffle Attention modules, and an optimized detection head. These improvements strengthen feature representation and enhance discrimination among visually similar grain categories in the huller discharge. Furthermore, a position-prediction-based deduplication algorithm was proposed to eliminate duplicate counts across consecutive frames, ensuring reliable grain-level statistics under continuous flow conditions. Experimental results demonstrated that the system achieved a mean average precision (mAP) of 99.0 % and a mean F1-score of 97.1 %, with a high processing speed of 88.5 frames per second (FPS). The system accurately calculated hulling and breakage rates with maximum absolute errors below 0.81 % while stably processing 200 g of discharge per minute.

稻壳机是稻谷加工中的一个关键部件，它使用反向旋转的橡胶辊去除稻谷的壳。然而，轧辊磨损不可避免地扩大了轧辊间隙，降低了脱壳率，增加了果仁断裂。目前的质量控制依赖于定期的人工检查和参数调整，这是一个劳动密集、耗时且缺乏实时响应的过程。为了解决这些限制，本研究开发了一个集成的在线检测系统，该系统结合了自动进料、杂质去除、图像采集和实时质量指标计算。DSS-YOLOv8是通过对YOLOv8架构进行密集块、Shuffle Attention模块和优化检测头的改进而设计的定制检测模型。这些改进增强了特征表征，增强了脱壳机卸料中视觉上相似的颗粒类别之间的区分能力。此外，提出了一种基于位置预测的重复数据删除算法，以消除连续帧之间的重复计数，确保连续流条件下可靠的粒度级统计。实验结果表明，该系统的平均精度（mAP）为99.0%，平均f1分数为97.1%，处理速度高达88.5帧/秒（FPS）。该系统能稳定地处理每分钟200克的卸料，准确地计算出脱壳率和破碎率，最大绝对误差在0.81%以下。这些发现证明了将深度学习与在线监测相结合的潜力，为稻壳的智能质量控制提供了准确、高效和实用的解决方案。

Root and tuber crops (RTCs) such as cassava, sweet potato, and taro are vital for food and nutrition security, particularly in developing countries. Despite their adaptability and relative drought tolerance, these often-neglected crops suffer substantial yield losses under prolonged water stress. This review examines the potential of superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) as a drought mitigation tool for RTCs to enhance water-use efficiency and irrigation sustainability. SAPs, as a subclass of high water-absorbing hydrogels, refer to three-dimensional cross-linked polymer networks capable of absorbing and retaining hundreds of times their own weight in water. While evidence demonstrates SAP efficacy in staple cereals and legumes, research focused on RTCs remains limited. This review identifies critical knowledge gaps, including optimal SAP formulations, application rates, and their interaction with root system architecture and soil hydrology. We propose integrating SAPs with practices like mulching and deficit irrigation may synergistically boost RTC productivity under variable climates. Future research priorities should include multi-location field trials and long-term studies to validate SAPs use for RTCs. Furthermore, investigations integrating root phenotyping, hydrotropic responses, and polymer-soil characterization are needed to optimize the use of SAPs in RTCs. This review is the first to systematically evaluate the application potential of SAPs specifically in underutilized RTCs such as cassava, sweet potato, and taro, with a particular focus on the critical knowledge gaps regarding their interactions with root system architecture and hydraulic properties. By bridging this knowledge gap, SAPs can be positioned as a key innovation to stabilize yields, enhance climate resilience, and safeguard food security in vulnerable farming systems.

木薯、甘薯和芋头等块根和块茎作物对粮食和营养安全至关重要，尤其是在发展中国家。尽管这些经常被忽视的作物具有适应性和相对的耐旱性，但在长期的水分胁迫下，它们的产量损失很大。本文综述了高吸水性聚合物（sap）作为rtc缓解干旱工具的潜力，以提高水利用效率和灌溉可持续性。sap是高吸水性水凝胶的一个子类，是指能够吸收和保持其自身重量数百倍的水的三维交联聚合物网络。虽然有证据表明SAP在主要谷物和豆类中有效，但针对rtc的研究仍然有限。这篇综述指出了关键的知识空白，包括最佳SAP配方、施用量及其与根系结构和土壤水文的相互作用。我们建议将sap与覆盖和亏缺灌溉等实践相结合，可以在可变气候条件下协同提高RTC的生产力。未来的研究重点应该包括多地点的现场试验和长期研究，以验证sap在rtc中的使用。此外，需要对根系表型、亲水反应和聚合物-土壤特性进行综合研究，以优化SAPs在rtc中的应用。这篇综述首次系统地评估了SAPs在木薯、甘薯和芋头等未充分利用的rtc中的应用潜力，并特别关注了它们与根系结构和水力特性相互作用的关键知识缺口。通过弥合这一知识差距，sap可以被定位为稳定产量、增强气候适应能力和保障脆弱农业系统粮食安全的关键创新。

The low input and easily controlled hot-air drying (HAD) is the most widely used drying technology, while the quality of shiitake mushrooms varied with different drying temperature or pretreatment modes, driving exploration of environmentally friendly drying strategy that is conducive to product quality. The focus of this study is the effects of high temperature hot-air blanching pretreatment (100 °C, 10 min) combined with different HAD-modes (constant temperature at 35 and 65 °C, and temperature gradient at 35–65 °C) on quality of shiitake mushrooms. Overall, high temperature hot-air blanching induced darker color and severe shrinkage, caused higher extent of browning and cross-linking and aggregation of proteins, and reduced the chemical antioxidant capacities in mushrooms. For unblanched samples, compared to those dried at constant temperature of 35 and 65 °C, the sample under temperature gradient at 35–65 °C (G) showed lower browning degree based on color index and the absorbance at 420 nm, and a better appearance was also observed. The higher chemical antioxidant capacities were observed in G containing higher contents of free amino group and total phenols. The protein molecular weights of G were mainly ranged at 50–70 kDa, and proteins below 50 kDa were also widely distributed. In addition, the amino acid patterns suggested G had high-quality protein, which was rich in free amino acids with sweetness and umami. Thus, hot-air blanching may not contribute to the quality of dried shiitake mushrooms, and temperature gradient HAD without blanching could be a practical approach for drying of shiitake mushrooms.

低投入、易控制的热风干燥（HAD）是目前应用最广泛的干燥技术，而香菇的品质随干燥温度或预处理方式的不同而不同，这推动了有利于产品质量的环保干燥策略的探索。本研究的重点是高温热风焯水预处理（100℃，10 min）结合不同的高温预处理模式（35℃和65℃恒温，35 ~ 65℃温度梯度）对香菇品质的影响。总体而言，高温热风焯水导致蘑菇颜色变深，收缩严重，褐变程度提高，蛋白质交联和聚集程度提高，化学抗氧化能力降低。对于未漂白的样品，与35℃和65℃恒温干燥的样品相比，35 - 65℃(G)温度梯度下的样品在显色指数和420 nm吸光度上的褐变程度较低，外观也更好。游离氨基和总酚含量较高的G具有较高的化学抗氧化能力。G蛋白分子量主要在50 - 70 kDa之间，50 kDa以下的蛋白也广泛分布。此外，氨基酸图谱表明G具有优质蛋白质，富含游离氨基酸，具有甜味和鲜味。因此，热风热烫对香菇干燥质量影响不大，不热烫的温度梯度HAD可能是一种实用的香菇干燥方法。

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a silent pandemic and one of the most serious risks associated with a variety of factors that can lead to life-threatening liver disease. It encompasses a range of conditions, from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, and eventually, liver cancer. Different foods and herbs have traditionally been used to treat liver disease. The ongoing research has focused on natural remedies for alleviating NAFLD. Therefore, a comprehensive review is warranted to gather updated information on foods, herbal remedies, and phytochemicals to reduce NAFLD. In this review, sixteen foods, nine herbs, and seven classes of phytochemicals have been reported to reduce NAFLD. The mechanisms of action have been discussed. Publications were gathered from various online databases, including ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and PubMed. Keywords used in the searches were ‘foods and NAFLD’, ‘herbs and NAFLD’, and ‘phytochemicals and NAFLD’. The foods and food products discussed included flaxseed, cinnamon, green tea, soybean, curcumin, licorice root, olive and canola oils, soluble fibers, garlic, spinach, vine tea, emblic, walnut, red yeast rice, bayberry, and barberry. The herbs reported to have hepatoprotective effects in NAFLD include qianggan, chlorella, danning pian, yiqi sanju, bitter chamber, shatter stone, danshen, ginkgo biloba, and milk thistle. Furthermore, important classes of phytoconstituents, such as polyphenols, anthocyanins, stilbenes, alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, and dietary phospholipids, have shown protective effects against NAFLD. The mechanisms of hepatoprotection in alleviating NAFLD have been discussed. The selected foods, herbs, and phytochemicals are suitable alternative medicines for treating NAFLD.

Developing resilient sugarcane varieties is critical for global food and energy security, especially given increasing drought stress. This study aimed to identify and evaluate drought-tolerant sugarcane varieties with high yield potential, addressing a significant global challenge from drought. To achieve this, 59 EMS-induced mutants and the wild-type Khon Kaen 3 were generated and assessed in a controlled field experiment, using DArTseq for molecular characterization and agro-morphological parameters for evaluation. Molecular characterization using DArTseq revealed genetic distinctness and considerable genetic diversity within the mutant population, with clustering methods effectively grouping individuals by SNP profiles and morphological characteristics. Genome-wide association (GWAS) analysis using 3492 SNP markers did not identify statistically significant associations with agronomic traits after rigorous correction, underscoring the inherent difficulties of such analyses in complex polyploid genomes, particularly with limited population size. Nonetheless, correlation, path coefficient analysis, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) consistently demonstrated the strong influence of internode length and stalk length on sugarcane yield under drought stress. PCA further highlighted height, stem diameter, and Brix as additional important traits. Regarding yield performance, mutant clones KU-MTB11-9 (14.86 kg/clump) and KU-MTB-tr2-2 (11.79 kg/clump) displayed markedly higher stalk weight per clump compared to the Khon Kaen 3 control (6.52 kg/clump), with KU-MTB11-9 also achieving superior single stalk weight (1.73 kg) versus the control (0.95 kg), all while maintaining comparable sugar content. These findings collectively indicate that improving internode and stalk length can enhance yields under drought, positioning clones KU-MTB11-9 and KU-MTB-tr2-2 as promising genetic resources for breeding more resilient sugarcane varieties.

开发抗灾甘蔗品种对全球粮食和能源安全至关重要，尤其是在干旱压力日益加剧的情况下。本研究旨在鉴定和评价具有高产潜力的耐旱甘蔗品种，以应对重大的全球干旱挑战。为了实现这一目标，研究人员在对照大田试验中产生了59个ems诱导突变体和野生型Khon Kaen 3，并使用DArTseq进行分子鉴定和农业形态参数评估。利用DArTseq进行分子表征，揭示了突变群体的遗传独特性和相当大的遗传多样性，聚类方法根据SNP谱和形态特征有效地对个体进行分组。使用3492个SNP标记的全基因组关联（GWAS）分析在经过严格校正后，并没有发现与农艺性状有统计学意义的关联，这强调了在复杂多倍体基因组中进行此类分析的固有困难，特别是在群体规模有限的情况下。然而，相关分析、通径系数分析和主成分分析（PCA）一致表明，干旱胁迫下节间长和茎长对甘蔗产量的影响较大。主成分分析进一步强调了高度、茎直径和Brix作为其他重要性状。在产量表现方面，突变无性系KU-MTB11-9 （14.86 kg/ kg）和KU-MTB-tr2-2 （11.79 kg/ kg）的单茎重显著高于kon Kaen 3对照（6.52 kg/ kg），其中KU-MTB11-9的单茎重（1.73 kg）也高于对照（0.95 kg），同时糖含量保持相当。这些结果表明，改善甘蔗节间和茎秆长度可以提高干旱条件下的产量，将KU-MTB11-9和ku - mtb -tr2定位为选育抗旱性更强的甘蔗品种的有希望的遗传资源。
