Article Synopsis
- Viral diseases, particularly Yellow Leaf (YL) disease caused by the sugarcane yellow leaf virus (ScYLV), are significant challenges in global sugarcane cultivation.
- Researchers screened around 600-625 sugarcane parental clones to identify levels of resistance to YL, using a disease rating scale and collecting leaf samples for viral load analysis between 2018-2020.
- Findings showed that although 22.85% of resistant clones remained symptom-free with low virus levels, no strong correlation was found between viral load and visible symptoms, indicating potential for developing YL-resistant sugarcane varieties.
