Os dados obtidos nesse trabalho apontam para o possível papel de CAM, NAC e SEC14 na via de indução/desenvolvimento floral em cana-de-açúcar, sendo um dos primeiros trabalhos a estudar esses genes no processo de floração nesse organismo. Será importante obter um maior número de plantas transformadas contendo os cassetes de superexpressão e analisá-las fenotipicamente. Questões em relação à natureza das interações e como elas fazem parte da via, além dos fatores que promovem ou inibem essas interações precisam ainda ser respondidas. Os dados apresentados aqui ajudarão a compreender melhor o desenvolvimento reprodutivo em cana-de-açúcar, processo esse tão importante tanto do ponto de vista sócio-econômico, quanto do ponto de vista evolutivo, uma vez que plantas incapazes de sincronizar os eventos internos com as mudanças externas diárias sofrem uma grave perda de aptidão ambiental.
