Main conclusion Differences in cell wall components between two BNF-contrasting
sugarcane genotypes might result from genetic variations particular to the genotype and …

Multiple genes in sugarcane control sucrose accumulation and the biosynthesis of cell wall
components; however, it is unclear how these genes are expressed in its apical culms. To …

This paper discusses the mechanisms by which fungi manipulate plant physiology and
suppress plant defense responses by producing effectors that can target various host …

Deciphering disease resistance in sugarcane is a challenge by virtue of its genomic
complexities like autopolyploidy, heterozygosity, etc. In the past few decades, most of the …
