Abstract	Sucrose is the prime product of sugarcane hence continued research is needed to improve its level in cane stalk. Bio-physiological aspects with relation to growth and sucrose storage mechanism are still poorly understood though the morphology and anatomy of sugarcane has been extensively studied. Still too many gaps exist in our knowledge as far as unique development, physiology and synthesis/degradation of sucrose in sugarcane are concerned. It is imperative to first visualize the impact of a selected trait on general sugarcane physiology as crop is highly compensatory in nature. Eventually, these gaps have slow down the precise improvement to enhance the expression of desired agronomical traits. Increased photosynthetic capacity of variety concomitant with increased cane yield has no value unless until sugar content is increased in that proportion. Realistically, it is difficult to increase sucrose level in cane stalk without prior knowledge of the factors that affect sugarcane yield and carbon partitioning. Since many genes involved in the metabolism of sucrose including signals and factors responsible for its regulation, further complicates the situation. Factors related to multiple environmental constraints namely temperature, water deficit and excess, increased CO$_{2}$ and availability of nutrient directly or indirectly influence or cross talk the controlling pathways of growth and sucrose metabolism. In the present review an attempt has been made to discuss and explore the possibility of enhancing sucrose productivity in sugarcane addressing the issues pertaining to physiology, biochemistry and biotechnology primarily focusing India as the active centre for the sugar and sugarcane production.
