Incidence and detection of sugarcane yellow leaf disease in the Philippines

[摘要] A survey of sugarcane yellow leaf disease (SCYLD) was conducted in the Philippines. Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) tissues showing the typical SCYLD symptoms were collected from eight provinces. Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) identified ScYLV in samples from Batangas and Cebu, Philippines while there was no phytoplasma detected. ScYLV was able to transmit the disease using infected setts.
