PSR97-45 was bred by plant breeders of the Philippine Sugar Research Institute Foundation, Inc. (Philsurin) from two parents–VMC74-292 and CP72-1312.

The hybridization (crossing of different varieties of sugarcane to produce new varieties) work on PSR97-45 began in October 1997, or two years after Philsurin was established.
