Most feasible diagnostic technique for the detection of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli infecting sugarcane in Cuba
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane caused by Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx) is a common destructive disease that occurs around the world. This disease is difficult to manage due to its elusive visible symptomology and disease rating of cultivars is subjective
Partitioning sugarcane variance components for sucrose yield in Stage I populations
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025In Colombia, sugarcane for sugar production is located in the Cauca River Valley and Meta regions and is planted on about 240.000 ha with more than 3.800 farms and 15 mills and has the highest yield of cane per hectare (TCH) per year in the world. Although TCH production seems to be high, Cenicaña’s breeders have only been able to achieve low pol % due to the genetic makeup of the trait, the effects of the environment (Niño-Niña), and the agro-industrial practices involved in farming in the area.
Photosynthetic responses of energy cane and sugarcane to ozone
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Ozone (O3) is a toxic air pollutant that impairs plant growth, and its effects on C4 species remain underexplored. We investigated the impact of O3 on leaf gas exchange in energy cane and sugarcane. As energy cane is more resilient to environmental stresses than sugarcane, we hypothesized that energy cane would be more tolerant to O3 than would sugarcane.
PSP1 biostimulant enhances sugarcane resistance to Diatraea saccharalis under controlled conditions and activates defense signaling pathways
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids) is a major crop threatened by numerous pests and diseases, including the sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis. Despite the global availability of cultural, biological, and chemical control methods, management efficacy in northwestern Argentina has been limited.
Quantification of transgene copies in genetically modified borer-resistant sugarcane
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The South African Sugarcane Research Institute is developing genetically modified (GM) sugarcane with enhanced resistance to Eldana saccharina by introducing Cry1Ab and Cry2Ab genes. Two genotypes, T10K and TN71, were selected as suitable candidates for transformation, representing South African sugarcane industry's rainfed and irrigated regions, respectively
Retrospective analysis of progenitors in the sugarcane breeding program of Estación Experimental Agroindustrial Obispo Colombres from 1998 to 2020
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Each year the Sugarcane Breeding Program of Estación Experimental Agroindustrial Obispo Colombres (SCBP-EEAOC) in Tucumán, Argentina, selects the progenitors to be used in biparental crossings. The present study aimed to analyze the parents chosen between 1998 and 2020 (23 seasons) in the SCBP-EEAOC based on their level of exploration and the number of selected individuals of their progeny in early selection stages.
Scaling of temporary immersion systems to produce clean seed cane for northern Argentina
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Tissue culture allows for the rapid propagation of sugarcane planting material of high phytosanitary and genetic quality. This paper describes the modernization of the tissue culture facilities at the Santa Rosa Agricultural Experimental Farm.
ScGID2 regulates gibberellin signaling and stem elongation in sugarcane through interactions with ScGAI and ScASK1
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids) is the leading sugar crop, with stem elongation crucial for yield. We identified ScGID2, an F-box protein from cultivar ROC22, with broad expression in stems and leaves.
Selection of an oviposition substrate by females of the sugarcane stalk borer Eldana saccharina Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) for use in the sterile insect technique
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025The selection of an oviposition substrate plays a crucial role in maximising egg-laying and hatching success in mass rearing for the sterile insect technique (SIT). However, using natural substrates in laboratory conditions is expensive and may not be effective for egg collection.
SNP variability in the sugarcane caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT): a key gene for lignin biosynthesis
Last Updated: junio 11, 2025Lignin is a complex polymer that reduces biomass recalcitrance and limits the use of sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids) for second-generation ethanol production. Among the key genes involved in lignin biosynthesis pathway, caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) impacts on both lignin content and composition.
