Impact of sugarcane smut in the EEAOC sugarcane breeding selection process during the last 10 years
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The focus of the Sugarcane Breeding Program of the Estación Experimental Agroindustrial Obispo Colombres (SCBP-EEAOC) is to develop new TUC varieties with high cane yield and sucrose content, early maturity and good phytosanitary behavior, among other industrial and agronomic aspects. From 2020/2021 season, sugarcane smut (Sporisorium scitamineum) increased in prevalence in Tucumán, Argentina, becoming one of the main sugarcane diseases in the region.
Importance of partnerships in monitoring and managing diseases in the South African sugarcane industry
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The Biosecurity-Extension-Researcher partnership at the South African Sugarcane Research Institute provides a conduit for knowledge exchange between researchers and sugarcane growers. This partnership provides a foundation for the promotion of new varieties, raises grower awareness to relevant disease issues through regular monitoring, and promotes the use of integrated disease management strategies to minimise losses.
In vitro mutagenesis for enhancing genetic variability in Argentinian sugarcane cultivarsIn vitro mutagenesis for enhancing genetic variability in Argentinian sugarcane cultivars
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The complexity of the sugarcane genome, the narrow genetic base of subtropical germplasm, and the extended breeding and selection cycle pose significant challenges to conventional breeding methods. In vitro mutagenesis offers an alternative approach to generating genetic variability by harnessing both somaclonal variation and induced mutations.
Incidence of diseases and animal pests in sugarcane on the Dagoberto Rojas farm, Cuba
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025A study of the diseases and animal pests affecting sugarcane on the Dagoberto Rojas farm was carried out as part of the Comprehensive Development of Precision Agriculture at the Jesús Rabí Sugar Mill in Matanzas, Cuba, using data recorded by the Phytosanitary Service.
Influence of soil conditions on white grub infestations: a case study in northern Tanzania
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025In northern Tanzania, sugarcane produced by TPC Limited has faced severe loss from several species of white grubs. Cochliotis melolonthoides Gerst. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) has been reported as the most damaging white grub both for its large size and high numbers. At TPC, the infestations have been localized in the southern area of the operation for over 80 years.
Is Aceria sacchari the most likely vector of sugarcane streak mosaic virus?
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV) has not been successfully transmitted experimentally using insects such as aphids or leafhoppers, and the vector of this virus remains unknown. SCSMV belongs to the genus Poacevirus (family Potyviridae) that consists officially of three virus species, including sugarcane streak mosaic virus (Poacevirus sacchari) and triticum mosaic virus (Poacevirus tritici).
Measuring Brix directly in the sugarcane stalk with a regenerative plant sensor
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Maximizing the yield potential of sugarcane varieties requires accurate assessment of physiological maturity, as under-aged or over-aged cane can lead to reduced sugar yield, poor juice quality, and difficulties in sugar recovery.
Molecular analysis of three sugarcane varieties with in-vitro induced mutations
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The importance of sugarcane and its products in food, paper and ethanol industrieshas led to its continued demand and assurance of returns from these industries has made it a most favored cash crop for cultivation in India. However, salinity is one of the major constraints in sugarcane production in India and worldwide
Monitoring the incidence and distribution of sugarcane smut in Colombian sugarcane fields
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Breeding for resistance to sugarcane smut, caused by Sporisorium scitamineum, has been a priority for the Varieties program at CENICAÑA. Smut had an economic impact in the susceptible variety CP 57-603 in the late 1980s, but for a long time there were no concerns about smut in the Colombian sugarcane industry in the Cauca River Valley (CRV).
Morphological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic differences between two sugarcane sister lines with contrasting resistance to orange rust disease
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Sugarcane production in most of the Americas has suffered yield losses from sugarcane orange rust disease (SORD) caused by Puccinia kuehnii for a decade. Developing resistant cultivars is a key breeding goal, but the genetic mechanisms of resistance to SORD remain unclear
