Smut disease assessment by PCR and microscopy in inoculated tissue cultured sugarcane cultivars.

2004-11-01

Abstract excerpt

By using PCR to amplify the bE mating-type gene of Ustilago scitaminea, it is possible to detect this pathogen in sugarcane. Different parts of smut inoculated tissue cultured plantlets were assayed to determine whether plant resistance to smut infection could be effectively evaluated by PCR or microscopy. The PCR assay was extremely sensitive in detecting the presence of the pathogen and yielded a positive respon...
