Controlling flowering date in sugarcane is very important in sugarcane breeding programs which depend on crossing between varieties. To make synchronization between the target varieties, we must know the flowering date for each and how to delay its flowering to make successful crosses.
We can use some methods of tissue culture and studied different concentration of carbohidrates
@Parisa, Thank you, but we search for genetic method to control flowering date
Different planting season (Ei-Manhaly et al, 1980) and leaf removal (Chu and Serapion, 1980) may help delay the flowering.

@Peifang Zhao: Thanks for your doing, I have these papers, in addition Ei-Manhaly, A.H. Nour, N.M. EI-Talkwawy are my supervisors in our institute, but Ei-Manhaly was died and I worked with them for years.
I am looking for a technique using DNA, proteins and/or RNA methods to delay or enhance flowering date in sugarcane
