Sugarcane Mosaic Disease: Characteristics, Identification and Control

Abstract

Mosaic is one of the most important sugarcane diseases, caused by single or compound infection of Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), Sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV), and/or Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV). The compound infection of mosaic has become increasingly serious in the last few years. The disease directly affects the photosynthesis and growth of sugarcane, leading to a significant decrease in cane yield and sucrose content, and thus serious economic losses. This review covers four aspects of sugarcane mosaic disease management: first, the current situation of sugarcane mosaic disease and its epidemic characteristics; second, the pathogenicity and genetic diversity of the three viruses; third, the identification methods of mosaic and its pathogen species; and fourth, the prevention and control measures for sugarcane mosaic disease and potential future research focus. The review is expected to provide scientific literature and guidance for the effective prevention and control of mosaic through resistance breeding in sugarcane.

Sugarcane–Peanut Intercropping System Enhances Bacteria Abundance, Diversity, and Sugarcane Parameters in Rhizospheric and Bulk Soils

“…Sugarcane ( Saccharum officinarum L.) is the world’s most crucial sugar and energy crop ( Lu et al, 2021 ; Tayyab et al, 2021 ), and it is mainly cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates with an annual production of about 16 million tons worldwide ( Chandel et al, 2012 ; Khalil et al, 2018 ). However, studies have established that cane growth and development are known to absorb a significant amount of soil nutrients because it produces large amounts of biomass ( Oliveira et al, 2018 ; Camargo and Keeping, 2021 ).…”

A Comprehensive Identification and Expression Analysis of VQ Motif-Containing Proteins in Sugarcane (Saccharum spontaneum L.) under Phytohormone Treatment and Cold Stress

“…Basnayake et al reported that drought had reduced sugarcane production by up to 60% [ 10 ]. Mosaic, one of the main viral sugarcane diseases, has resulted in stunted plants, reduced photosynthesis, destruction of chlorophyll and inhibition of plant growth and which can ultimately reduce sugarcane yield by 10–50%, or even 60–80% [ 11 , 12 ]. Approximately 1300 insect pests have been accounted for attacking sugarcane around the world, and stem borer is the most harmful pest in most countries, resulting in yield losses of nearly 25–30% [ 1 , 13 , 14 ].…”

On-site and visual detection of sorghum mosaic virus and rice stripe mosaic virus based on reverse transcription-recombinase-aided amplification and CRISPR/Cas12a

“…Sugarcane diseases caused by SrMV infection are widely distributed worldwide, and rice diseases caused by RSMV infection are becoming more serious and spreading year by year (Yang et al, 2018;Lu et al, 2021). Rapid and accurate detection of these viruses is helpful for forecasting and preventing the epidemics.…”

“…Sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV), genus Potyvirus, family Potyviridae, is one of the main pathogens causing sugarcane mosaic disease, and is widely distributed in major sugarcane regions in the world at present (Lu et al, 2021). The rapid detection and identification of this virus is helpful to control the sugarcane mosaic disease in the field.…”
