AbstractSugarcane yellow leaf (SCYL), caused by the sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV) is a major disease affecting sugarcane, a leading sugar and energy crop. Despite damages caused by SCYLV, the genetic base of resistance to this virus remains largely unknown. Several methodologies have arisen to identify molecular markers associated with SCYLV resistance, which are crucial for marker-assisted selection and understanding response mechanisms to this virus. We investigated the genetic base of SCYLV resistance using dominant and codominant markers and genotypes of interest for sugarcane breeding. A sugarcane panel inoculated with SCYLV was analyzed for SCYL symptoms, and viral titer was estimated by RT-qPCR. This panel was genotyped with 662 dominant markers and 70,888 SNPs and indels with allele proportion information. We used polyploid-adapted genome-wide association analyses and machine-learning algorithms coupled with feature selection methods to establish marker-trait associations. While each approach identified unique marker sets associated with phenotypes, convergences were observed between them and demonstrated their complementarity. Lastly, we annotated these markers, identifying genes encoding emblematic participants in virus resistance mechanisms and previously unreported candidates involved in viral responses. Our approach could accelerate sugarcane breeding targeting SCYLV resistance and facilitate studies on biological processes leading to this trait.

Infection by Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (ScYLV) causes severe leaf symptoms in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) hybrids, which indicate alterations in its photosynthetic apparatus. To gain an overview of the physiological status of infected plants, we evaluated chlorophyll a fluorescence and gas exchange assays, correlating the results with leaf metabolic surveys, i.e., photosynthetic pigments and carbohydrate contents. When compared to healthy plants, infected plants showed a reduction in potential quantum efficiency for photochemistry of photosystem (PSII) and alterations in the filling up of the plastoquinone (PQ) pool. They also showed reduction in the CO2 net exchange rates, probably as a consequence of impaired quantum yield. In addition, reductions were found in the contents of photosynthetic leaf pigments and in the ratio chlorophyll a/chlorophyll b (chla/chlb). Carbohydrate content in the leaves was increased as a secondary effect of the ScYLV infection. This article discusses the relation of virus replication and host defense responses with general alterations in the photosynthetic apparatus and in the metabolism of infected plants.

  La caña de azúcar es uno de los cultivos industriales importantes a nivel mundial y es afectado por diversas enfermedades virales, incluido el sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV). En México este virus se ha detectado basado en sintomatología y °Brix; sin embargo, el diagnóstico basado en estos parámetros no es concluyente. El objetivo del estudio fue detectar la presencia y distribución del SCYLV en zonas cañeras del Occidente de México (Colima, Jalisco y Nayarit) y determinar el origen filogenético de un aislado de Colima. El trabajo se desarrolló en el Campo Experimental Tecomán durante 2013-2014. Se aisló el RNA total a partir de hojas colectadas y se realizaron las RT-PCR con oligonucleótidos específicos para SCYLV. Se analizaron 233 muestras y la incidencia de plantas portadoras del SCYLV fue 14.6%, afectando a los híbridos CP 72-2086, Mex 69-290 y Atemex 96-40. El análisis BLAST mostró que la secuencia parcial CP de Colmex-317 (512 pb) es homóloga con secuencias de Brasil, China, India, Kenia y USA, además comparte porcentajes de identidad superior a 99% con otras secuencias provenientes de varios países. El análisis filogenético de Colmex-317 con secuencias parciales y genomas completos del SCYLV aislados de diversas partes del mundo reveló que el aislado mexicano pertenece al genotipo de Brasil (BRA) y se agrupó con secuencias de Brasil, China, Kenia y Sudáfrica. Sin embargo, es necesario evaluar un mayor número de aislados y secuencias de mayor longitud para determinar si el genotipo BRA es el único presente en México.

Sugarcane, Saccharum spp. hybrid, is widely infected in the United States and many other countries with a yellowing and stunting disease called sugarcane yellow leaf syndrome. The causal agent, Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (ScYLV), is a Polerovirus of the Luteoviridae family. In this study, it was transmitted by the sugarcane aphid, Melanaphis sacchari, and also by the corn leaf aphid, Rhopalosiphum maidis, and the rice root aphid, R. rufiabdominalis. Two other aphids that infest sugarcane in Hawaii did not transmit the virus. Some Hawaiian sugarcane cultivars are susceptible to ScYLV, while others remain virus-free in the field. The latter were not infected when inoculated with viruliferous M. sacchari. Virus-free plants of susceptible cultivars were produced through apical meristem culture and were readily reinfected by viruliferous M. sacchari. They were also quickly reinfected when planted in a field in proximity to other infected sugarcane naturally infested with M. sacchari. Sugarcane cultivars are hybrids of several Saccharum species. In a field-grown collection of Saccharum and related species, 11 to 71% of the clones of four of the species were infected with ScYLV. None of the related genus Erianthus plants were infected, but four clones were infected experimentally by aphid inoculation. A low to moderate percentage of corn, rice, and sorghum seedlings became infected when inoculated with ScYLV, but barley, oats, and wheat proved to be very susceptible. None of seven weeds common in sugarcane fields were infected with ScYLV.
