Background Sugarcane smut can cause losses in cane yield and sugar content that range from 30% to total crop failure. Losses tend to increase with the passage of years. Sporisorium scitamineum is the fungus that causes sugarcane smut. This fungus has the potential to infect all sugarcane species unless a species is resistant to biotrophic fungal pathogens. However, it remains unclear how the fungus...
In order to study the genetic diversity of sugarcane smut fungus,Ustilago scitaminea Syd., single spore of 18 isolates of were obtained from single smut whip in six different provinces in Mainland China. Total 13 random primers of 10 bp were occupied in analyses of molecular diversity by random amplified polymorphic DNA or RAPD. The largest dissimilarity coefficient was 0.89, being observed in two...
