  • Publication number: 20240043862
    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.

  • Patent number: 11814638
    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.
