Pathogen responsible for sugarcane leaf spot disease
This study identifies Curvularia geniculata as the pathogenic fungus responsible for sugarcane leaf spot disease. Although C. geniculata has long been reported as a pathogen in other host species, no relevant reports are available for sugarcane. High throughput sequencing was performed in this study to obtain genomic data of this strain, aiming to dissect its pathogenic mechanisms during sugarcane infection.
