Abstract
Sugarcane smut disease is the result of biotrophic interaction between the basidiomycete fungus, Sporisorium scitamineum, and the host plant, sugarcane. Smut disease is responsible for causing substantial economic impacts, both at the national and global levels. The disease is characterized by profound changes in the host's metabolism, resulting in the emission of a long structure from th…
