Ultrasensitive nano-gold labelled, duplex lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for early detection of sugarcane mosaic viruses.

Sugarcane is one of the important food and bioenergy crops, cultivated all over the world except European continent. Like many other crops, sugarcane production and quality are hampered by various plant pathogens, among them viruses that infect systemically and cause severe impact to cane growth. The viruses are efficiently managed by their elimination through tissue culture combined with molecular diagnostics, which could detect virus titre often low at 10 g mL.

Present Status and Future Management Strategies for Sugarcane Yellow Leaf Virus: A Major Constraint to the Global Sugarcane Production.

(SCYLV) is a distinct member of the genus of the family. SCYLV is the major limitation to sugarcane production worldwide and presently occurring in most of the sugarcane growing countries. SCYLV having high genetic diversity within the species and presently ten genotypes are known to occur based on the complete genome sequence information.

Mixed Infection of and Grassy Shoot Phytoplasma in Yellow Leaf Affected Indian Sugarcane Cultivars.

Sugarcane is an important sugar crop contributes more than 80% of world sugar production. Mosaic, leaf fleck, and yellow leaf (YL) are the major viral diseases affecting sugarcane, amongst YL occurrence is widely reported in all the sugarcane growing countries. It is caused by (SCYLV) and detailed works were done on complete genome characterization, transmission, and management.
