Abstract: We study the semigroup identities satisfied by finite rank plactic monoids. We find a new set of semigroup identities of the plactic monoid of rank $n$ for $ngeq4$, which are shorter than those previously known when $ngeq6$. Using these semigroup identities we show that for all $ninmathbbN$, the plactic monoid of rank $n$ satisfies a semigroup identity not satisfied by the semigroup of $(n+1)imes(n+1)$ upper triangular tropical matrices. We then prove that the plactic monoid of rank $n$ generates a different semigroup variety for each rank $n$.
