Improving root characteristics is an important breeding target to increase the productivity of sugarcane grown under rainfed conditions.Erianthus arundinaceusis promising breeding material for sugarcane improvement because of its excellent drought tolerance with deep roots. This study evaluated the agronomic traits and root characteristics of an intergeneric F1hybrid of sugarcane andE. arundinaceusto assess the potential for introducing the root characteristics ofE. arundinaceusinto sugarcane through intergeneric hybridisation. Field experiments using the sugarcane cultivar NiF8,E. arundinaceusclones, and their intergeneric F1hybrid J08–12, were carried out at the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, Japan. We evaluated root distribution from 0 to 120 cm depth and fibre composition, along with agricultural traits, such as biomass productivity, sugar and fibre contents. As was observed withE. arundinaceusclones, J08–12 had more stalks than NiF8 with increased dry matter yield in ratoon crops. The sugar and fibre contents of J08–12 were intermediate between those of NiF8 andE. arundinaceusclones. J08–12 andE. arundinaceusclones had greater root dry matter weight per stool and smaller shoot-root ratios than NiF8. In terms of root distribution,E. arundinaceusclones had significantly greater root dry weights and root length densities than NiF8 from the surface to deep soil layers. J08–12 also exhibited greater root dry weights and root length densities than NiF8, showing significant differences in the 100–120 cm layer in the experiments. Root dry matter and lignin contents were low in NiF8, high inE. arundinaceusclones, and intermediate in J08–12. These results indicate that intergeneric hybridisation of sugarcane andE. arundinaceuscould successfully introduce root characteristics ofE. arundinaceus, such as deep root distribution and high lignin content, into sugarcane. Improving sugarcane root characteristics through intergeneric hybridisation withE. arundinaceuswill be a powerful strategy to improve tolerance to adverse environments and achieve sustainable production in the future.
