Sugarcane Mosaic: Virus Particles and Relative Resistance of Sugarcane Varieties in Puerto Rico.

Sugarcane Mosaic Virus-Based Gene Silencing in Nicotiana benthamiana

Background:Potyvirus-based virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is used for knocking down the expression of a target gene in numerous plant species. Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is a monopartite, positive single strand RNA virus. Objectives:pBINTRA6 vector was modified by inserting a gene segment of SCMV in place of Tobacco rattle virus (TRV) genome part 1 (TRV1 or RNA1)...

Agronomic Evaluation of Sugarcane Lines Transformed for Resistance to Sugarcane mosaic virus Strain E

zki (1993) noted that genetic engineering in sugarcane would be a useful tool for reversing single flaws, such Genetic transformation of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) holds promas disease susceptibility, in commercial cultivars. Sugarise for increasing yields and disease resistance. However, the tissue cane may benefit from genetic transformation because its culture and transformation process may ...

A PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE EFFECT OF SUGARCANE MOSAIC VIRUS ON THE YIELD OF SUGARCANE VARIETIES NCo

A variant ofSCMV-D is the most common strain of sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) occurring in sugarcane in the coastal hinterland and high altitude areas of Natal. In field trials conducted at Mount Edgecombe and Eston this strain decreased the yield of recoverable sugar from variety NCo 376 by 30 to 42 % and that from variety Nl2 by 15 to 30% when all the stalks were infected. Losses in yield wer...

Field Performance of Transgenic Sugarcane Lines Resistant to Sugarcane Mosaic Virus

Sugarcane mosaic disease is mainly caused by the sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), which can significantly reduce stalk yield and sucrose content of sugarcane in the field. Coat protein mediated protection (CPMP) is an effective strategy to improve virus resistance. A 2-year field study was conducted to compare five independent transgenic sugarcane lines carrying the SCMV-CP gene (i.e., B2, B36, B...
