Abstract

Rattoon stunted disease (Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Davis) Evtushenko) is among sugarcane diseases mostly diffused worldwide, causing substantial losses in the crop. This work presents results of a study of the bacteria propagation in the sugarcane Germplasm Collection in Cuba. Different generational levels of forms and hybrids of individuals with more than 10 months of age were selected at random. From them a cylinder of stem was taken from a section close to the band of roots of the first internode. The samples were submitted to polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A total of 69 individuals was studied (24 original forms of gender Saccharum; 9 interspecific F1 of Saccharum; 2 regressive interspecific BC1 crosses and 34 of another hybrids) detecting the bacterium in 50% of them and in 63% of the original forms of Saccharum gender studied. The possibility exists of finding resistance sources present in those where no detection of the disease was observed, and for this reason suitable to enter in the Sugarcane Breeding Program in Cuba, although other inheritance and combinatory skills studies are required for this character in the progenitors.
