Silicon induces ROS scavengers, hormone signalling, antifungal metabolites, and silicon deposition against brown stripe disease in sugarcane.

Bipolaris setariae is known to cause brown stripe disease in sugarcane, resulting in significant yield losses. Silicon (Si) has the potential to enhance plant growth and biotic resistance. In this study, the impact of Si on brown stripe disease was investigated across susceptible and resistant sugarcane varieties, utilizing four Si concentrations (0, 15, 30, and 45 g per barrel of NaSiO·5HO).

Ultrasonic treatment alleviated cadmium stress in sugarcane via improving antioxidant activity and physiological and biochemical status.

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic element that endangers crop growth and affects food safety and human health. Therefore, the study of Cd mitigation technology is important. Ultrasonic treatment can improve crop growth and enhance their ability to resist various abiotic stresses.

Weed suppression and antioxidant activity of L. decomposition leachates.

L. (milk vetch), a versatile plant that has a soil-enriching effect as green manure, is widely planted in the temperate zone of China. In previous experiments, milk vetch incorporated into the soil as green manure showed potential for goosegrass control.

First report of ring spot disease on sugarcane caused by Curvularia ischaemi in China.

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids) is an economically important crop widely cultivated in the south of China, such as Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guangdong for use as the main raw material of the sugar and alcohol industry (Li and Yang et al. 2015).

Kynurenine 3-Monooxygenase Gene Is Required for Mating/Filamentation by Regulating cAMP Pathway and Improving Sporidia Environmental Adaptability.

Sugarcane smut is a serious disease caused by , which causes significant losses to the sugar industry. It is critical to reveal the molecular pathogenic mechanism of to explore a new control strategy for sugarcane smut. On the basis of transcriptome sequencing data of two strains with different pathogenicity, we identified the gene, , which was predicted to encode kynurenine 3-monooxygenase.

Squalene Monooxygenase Gene Regulates Mating/Filamentation and Pathogenicity.

Sugarcane is an important sugar crop and energy crop worldwide. Sugarcane smut caused by is a serious fungal disease that occurs worldwide, seriously affecting the yield and quality of sugarcane. It is essential to reveal the molecular pathogenesis of to explore a new control strategy of sugarcane smut.

Morphological, agronomical, physiological and molecular characterization of a high sugar mutant of sugarcane in comparison to mother variety.

Sugarcane is a significant crop plant with the capability of accumulating higher amount of sucrose. In the present study, a high sucrose content sugarcane mutant clone, GXB9, has been studied in comparison to the low sucrose mother clone B9 on morphological, agronomical and physiological level in order to scrutinize the variation because of mutation in GXB9 in field under normal environmental condition. The results showed that GXB9 has less germination, tillering rate, stalk height, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, number of internodes, internode length and internode diameter than B9.
