Exploring Potential Surrogate Systems for Studying the Early Steps of the Sporisorium scitamineum Pathogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Despite its global importance as a primary source of table sugar and bioethanol, sugarcane faces a significant threat to its production due to diseases. One of these diseases, sugarcane smut, involves the emergence of a whip-like structure from the host apical shoot. The slow onset of this pathogenesis is the most substantial challenge for researchers to investigate the molecular events leading to resistance or...
