Abstract:Diseases caused by fungi associated with adverse weather conditions are one of the main causes of decreases in sugarcane production. This study aimed to develop a protocol for a fast identification of Phaeocytostroma sacchari, which is the causal agent of bark rot in sugarcane. The reference sequences of three DNA regions of P. sacchari, namely internal transcribed spacer, ribosomal large subunit and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEFl-α), were analyzed with specific primers design. The specific primer… Show more
