Description

Haidong Lin and co-authors mined genes for resistance to Pokkah Boeng disease in sugarcane in a 2024 study. This fungal disease, caused by Fusarium species, threatens sugar industries worldwide. Breeding resistant varieties is a priority, and gene and marker work lays the ground for it.

The team crossed a susceptible parent with a traditional resistant cultivar and sequenced gene activity in the offspring. Network analysis found gene modules tied closely to disease traits, enriched in immune signalling and transporter pathways. Joining genome resequencing of the parents with offspring data yielded markers that may separate highly resistant from susceptible plants. The resources should speed breeding, they say.
