Identification of Genomic Regions Controlling Leaf Scald Resistance in Sugarcane Using a Bi-parental Mapping Population and Selective Genotyping by Sequencing

Leaf scald, caused by Xanthomonas albilineans, is a major sugarcane disease worldwide. The disease is managed primarily with resistant cultivars obtained through classical breeding. However, erratic symptom expression hinders the reliability and reproducibility of selection for resistance. The devel...
