E. aMolecular diagnosis optimization of virus, bacteria and fungi in sugarcane.h[electronic resource] c2013 aAbstract: Aiming at optimizing the diagnosis of major sugarcane diseases by PCR, primers were developed (scald, orange rust) and amplified fragments according to the literature were used as positive control, such as those caused by: 1 - Bacteria, (ratoon stunting and leaf scald) 2 - Viruses, (yellow leaf, mosaic, mosaic streak and fijivirus) 3-Fungus, (smut, orange rust and curvularia). For diseases with long latency period (leaf scald, ratoon stunting, yellow leaf, mosaic, fijivirus, smut and orange rust), primers were designed for real time PCR. For testing, infected leaves, fungal colonies, amplified DNA fragment or 40 seedlings were used. Real time PCR analyses have enabled the detection of sugarcane samples with highest dilution of DNA. The pair of primers designed for orange rust was more specific. The pair of primers designed for scald, apparently was not able to distinguish only bacteria of the genus Erwinia, whereas the primers described in the literature were observed amplify others genera, such as Xanthomonas, Pseudomonas, Erwinia, Stenotrophomona and Pantoea. The three strains of the fungus curvularia, found in sugarcane, resembled more to the species C.cymbopogonis, C.geniculata, C.sp. Of the 28 primer pairs tested, the best were shown for each of the disease-causing agent. aCurvularia aFijivirus aPlant diseases and disorders aPolymerase chain reaction aRatoon stunting disease aRust diseases aScald diseases aSmut diseases aSugarcane aSugarcane streak virus aSugarcane yellow leaf virus aBactéria aCana de açúcar aDiagnóstico aDoença de planta aEscaldadura aFerrugem alaranjada aFungo aVírus aLeaf scald aPCR1 aSA, L.
