Physiological Basis of Smut Infectivity in the Early Stages of Sugar Cane Colonization

Sugar cane smut (Sporisorium scitamineum) interactions have been traditionally considered from the plant’s point of view: How can resistant sugar plants defend themselves against disease? Resistant induce several defensive mechanisms that oppose fungal attacks. Herein, an overall view Sporisorium scitamineum’s infection and defense are presented. Quorum sensing effects a continuous reorganization cytoskeletal components, where actin, myosin, microtubules required to work together, seem be some keys successful attack.
