Abstract

The invention is generally related to Sugarcane mini-chromosomes and recombinant chromosomes containing Sugarcane centromere sequences. In addition, the invention provides for methods of generating Sugarcane plants transformed with these Sugarcane mini-chromosomes. Sugarcane mini-chromosomes with novel compositions and structures are used to transform Sugarcane cells which are in turn used to generate Sugarcane plants. Methods for generating Sugarcane plants include methods for delivering the Sugarcane mini-chromosomes into Sugarcane cell to transform the cell, methods for selecting the transformed cell, and methods for isolating Sugarcane plants transformed with the Sugarcane mini-chromosome or recombinant chromosome.
