“…The most dangerous disease that affects the growth of sugarcane is smut disease, which is caused by Sporisorium scitamineum. Smut, a disease causing 100% infestation in sugarcane fields, affects 84 planted crops and 80 ratoon crops, leading to a 9%–75% loss in production and a 3%–7% decrease in sugar recovery ( Malik, 2018 ; Ali et al, 2022 ; Ali et al., 2023 ). According to research conducted on Australian commercial sugarcane Q157, a substantial relationship exists between the severity of smut disease and yield, with an average loss of 26%–62% ( Magarey et al., 2010 ).…”

Environmental stresses are the main constraints on agricultural productivity and food security worldwide. This issue is worsened by abrupt and severe changes in global climate. The formation of sugarcane yield and the accumulation of sucrose are significantly influenced by biotic and abiotic stresses. Understanding the biochemical, physiological, and environmental phenomena associated with these stresses is essential to increase crop production. This review explores the effect of environmental factors on sucrose content and sugarcane yield and highlights the negative effects of insufficient water supply, temperature fluctuations, insect pests, and diseases. This article also explains the mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the role of different metabolites under environmental stresses, and highlights the function of environmental stress-related resistance genes in sugarcane. This review further discusses sugarcane crop improvement approaches, with a focus on endophytic mechanism and consortium endophyte application in sugarcane plants. Endophytes are vital in plant defense; they produce bioactive molecules that act as biocontrol agents to enhance plant immune systems and modify environmental responses through interaction with plants. This review provides an overview of internal mechanisms to enhance sugarcane plant growth and environmental resistance and offers new ideas for improving sugarcane plant fitness and crop productivity.
