Genetic Divergence and Population Structure of Xanthomonas albilineans Strains Infecting Saccharum spp. Hybrid and Saccharum officinarum

Zhong-Ting Hu et al.

Summary: Little is known about the population structure and genetic evolution of Xanthomonas albilineans (Xa), the causative agent of leaf scald disease in sugarcane. In this study, 39 Xa strains from China were analyzed using multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) and rep-PCR fingerprinting. The results revealed significant genetic divergence and population structures among Xa strains from different host plants.

Cotton and drought stress: An updated overview for improving stress tolerance

Sadia Zafar et al.

Summary: Due to changing climatic conditions, drought stress has become a global issue affecting cotton production significantly. Efforts have been made to understand the adaptation mechanisms of cotton against drought stress, which triggers physiological responses such as stomatal closure and an internal heatwave effect, leading to a reduction in photosynthesis and hindered plant growth and development. However, accumulation of drought-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a crucial role in activating stress-responsive transcription factors and fostering tolerance in plant cells. Despite progress, the physiological and molecular responses of cotton crops to drought stress remain elusive, and strategies for improving drought tolerance in cotton are discussed.

Comparative Analysis of Growth and Physiological Responses of Sugarcane Elite Genotypes to Water Stress and Sandy Loam Soils

Muhammad Sajid et al.

Summary: Stumpy irrigation water availability is crucial for sugarcane production in Pakistan, but it is hindered by inadequate water distribution and uneven rainfall. The study evaluated sugarcane clones' performance under low water availability in sandy loam soil and identified genotypes with resistance and susceptibility to water deficit. Genotypes S2006-US-658, S2007-AUS-384, and HSF-240 exhibited better physiological traits under water deficit, while CP 77-400, S2008-FD-19, S2006-US-469, and S2003-US-633 showed reduced growth and development under stressed conditions. The study emphasizes that sugarcane can sustain its growth with less irrigation frequency or moisture availability, with certain variations.

Identification and Expression Profiling of WRKY Family Genes in Sugarcane in Response to Bacterial Pathogen Infection and Nitrogen Implantation Dosage

Talha Javed et al.

Summary: This study systematically analyzed and characterized WRKY family genes in a sugarcane hybrid and investigated their expression and regulation under bacterial infection and nitrogen fertilization. The results revealed specific WRKY genes that were upregulated in a resistant cultivar and downregulated or unchanged in a susceptible cultivar in response to bacterial infection. Additionally, most of the tested WRKY genes functioned as negative regulators in response to different nitrogen levels. These findings provide valuable candidate gene resources for sugarcane genetic improvement and lay the foundation for further understanding the molecular mechanisms of WRKY genes in defense responses to pathogens and nitrogen levels.
