Some Factors Influencing the Spreadi of Sugarcane Mosaic in Natal

چکیده
Since the discovery of mosaic on the variety Co.281 a few years ago an attempt has been made to determine the extent of the outbreak, the varieties affected, the effect on the cane, and any factors which may be contributory in determining the spread of the disease. To assist us in this work the services of several government inspectors of the Division of Botany and Plant Pathology were made available for a period during the two years 1'946 and 1947, and a permanent inspector is now engaged in continuing the work. As a result of this and our own investigations it has been possible to obtain a picture of the position as it appears today.

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...

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)...

متن کاملProgress towards a Definitive Diagnostic Test for Sugarcane Mosaic Virus Infection
A new, rapid and sensitive protocol is reported for diagnosis of sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) using small (2 cm/) samples of leaf tissue as starting material. The procedure involves total RNA isolation followed by reverse transcription and amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of a substantial portion (884bp) of the coat protein gene of SCMV. This can be followed by corrobora...
