Bru1 gene and potential alternative sources of resistance to sugarcane brown rust disease
2013-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Brown rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia melanocephala, is responsible for important yield losses in sugarcane production globally and it is therefore an important objective to introduce resistance to this disease in breeding programs. A major gene, Bru1, has been shown to confer resistance to P. melanocephala strains from different parts of the world and two molecular markers, R12H16 and 9O20-F4, closely associa...
