Identification of resistance to Sugarcane mosaic virus, Sugarcane streak mosaic virus, and Sugarcane bacilliform virus in new elite sugarcane accessions in India.

ABSTRACT: Sugarcane mosaic and leaf fleck diseases are significant viral diseases affecting sugarcane crops in India. The use of resistant sugarcane varieties is considered the most economical and effective approach to manage viral diseases, especially in vegetatively propagated crops such as sugarcane. Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV) are the primary pathogens responsible for mosaic disease in sugarcane-growing regions of India. Sugarcane bacilliform virus (SCBV), causing leaf fleck disease, is also often found in mixed infections with mosaic symptoms. The study aimed to identify new sources of resistance by screening sugarcane germplasm for resistance to SCMV, SCSMV, and SCBV. The screening was carried out under high inoculum using the in
