Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Six QTLs of resistance to sugarcane orange rust were identified in modern interspecific hybrids by GWAS. For five of them, the resistance alleles originated from S. spontaneum. Altogether, they efficiently predict disease resistance. Sugarcane orange rust (SOR) is a threatening emerging disease in many sugarcane industries worldwide. Improving the genetic resistance of commercial cultivars remains...
