Abstract: A method for producing a sugarcane line having improved smut resistance, the method including: a step of breeding parent plants to obtain a progeny plant, wherein at least one of said parent plants is a sugarcane plant; a step of extracting a genomic DNA of the progeny plant; a step of determining the presence or absence of a marker associated with sugarcane smut resistance in the obtained genomic DNA; a step of selecting a progeny plant having the marker associated with sugarcane smut resistance, and a step of breeding only the selected progeny plant; wherein the marker associated with sugarcane smut resistance contains any nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 144 to 151, or at least 15 consecutive nucleotides of SEQ ID NOs: 144 to 151.

Abstract: This invention is intended to evaluate smut resistance with higher accuracy using a marker associated with sugarcane smut resistance, which consists of a continuous nucleic acid region existing in a region between the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 6, a region between the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 135 and the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 143, or a region between the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 144 or 145 and the nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 151 of a sugarcane chromosome.

Abstract: Included are terminal metal parts, a housing provided with a fitting part housing the terminal metal parts thereinside and to be inserted and fit into a counterpart fitting part having an inner circumferential wall face, a front holder causing the fitting part to be inserted along an insertion direction of the fitting part to the counterpart fitting part, and a ring-shaped water stop member having an inner circumferential face side mounted on a protruding portion of an outer circumferential wall face of the fitting part from the front holder to fill a ring-shaped gap between the protruding portion of the outer circumferential wall face and the inner circumferential wall face of the counterpart fitting part.
