Allelopathy is a process whereby a plant directly or indirectly promotes or inhibits growth of surrounding plants. Perennial sugarcane root extracts from various years significantly inhibited Bidens pilosa, Digitaria sanguinalis, sugarcane stem seedlings, and sugarcane tissue-cultured seedlings (P < 0.05), with maximum respective allelopathies of - 0.60, - 0.62, - 0.20, and - 0.29. Allelopathy increased with increasing concentrations for the same-year root extract, and inhibitory effects of the neutral, acidic, and alkaline components of perennial sugarcane root extract from different years were significantly stronger than those of the control for sugarcane stem seedlings (P < 0.05). The results suggest that allelopathic effects of perennial sugarcane root extract vary yearly, acids, esters and phenols could be a main reason for the allelopathic autotoxicity of sugarcane ratoons and depend on the type and content of allelochemicals present, and that allelopathy is influenced by other environmental factors within the rhizosphere such as the presence of old perennial sugarcane roots. This may be a crucial factor contributing to the decline of perennial sugarcane root health.

The objective of present review is to provide a scientific overview of sugarcane as a potential feedstock for biofuel and use of genome editing approach for improvement of industrial and agronomical traits in sugarcane. Sugarcane, a perennial tropical grass with a high biomass index, is a promising feedstock for bioethanol production, and its bagasse, rich in lignocellulosic material, serves as an ideal feedstock for producing second-generation bioethanol. To improve the conversion of sugarcane biomass into biofuels, developing varieties with improved biomass degradability and high biomass and sucrose content is essential.

Article Synopsis
- - The IAA gene family, important for gene regulation during auxin signaling, was analyzed in sugarcane, identifying 92 members across 32 chromosomes and organizing them into three phylogenetic groups.
- - The study found that segmental duplication and recombination played significant roles in the gene family's expansion, with certain promoter elements linked to hormone regulation and stress responses.
- - Findings indicated that the IAA genes are primarily expressed in the stems and lower leaves, particularly at night, and are upregulated under cold and salt stress, suggesting their involvement in sugar transport and stress resistance in sugarcane.
First Report of a ' Phytoplasma sacchari'-Related Strain Associated with Yellowing and Decline of Silver Bluestem in Texas, U.S.A.
Plant Dis

USDA-ARS, 17123, Molecular Plant Pathology Laboratory, Beltsville, Maryland, United States;
Article Synopsis
- Silver bluestem is a warm-season grass native to Texas that supports local ecosystems, but some plants were displaying symptoms of disease during a study on invasive species near Pipe Creek in September 2022.
- Out of 200 surveyed plants, 2% showed yellowing leaves and brown discoloration, prompting researchers to collect samples for further analysis.
- Genetic testing revealed that two symptomatic plants were infected with a phytoplasma strain named TXSB-2, with DNA sequences from this strain deposited in GenBank for future research and reference.
Effect of Irrigation on Sugarcane Morphophysiology in the Brazilian Cerrado.

Botany Department, Biology Institute, Federal University of Pelotas, Pelotas 96010-900, Brazil.
Since sugarcane is semi-perennial, it has no escape from water stresses in the Brazilian Cerrado, and consequently, drought impacts plant growth and industrial quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphophysiology and quality of the first ratoon of two sugarcane varieties submitted to irrigated and stressed treatments under field conditions. For the biometric characteristics, in general, significant decreases were observed under the stressed treatment for all periods, and only minor differences were detected between the studied cultivars.
