RESUMO

The tissue blot immunoassay (TBIA) for detecting Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx) colonized vascular bundles (CVB) were used in determining the reaction of 28 brazilian sugarcane cultivars to ratoon stunting disease (RSD), including CB47-355, CB41-76 e CB49-260 as resistant, intermediate and susceptible standards. For each cultivar, 16 buds were hot water treated at 50,5 oC for 2 hours and protected against root rots with benomyl. Eight buds of each cultivar were than inoculated with infected sap of the CB49-260 diluted 1:5 in water, and the remaining 8 buds were inoculated with distilled water for planting the control plots. The reps of each cultivar were planted in plastic plots at green house. At harvesting, seven months after planting, two stalks were sampled from each plot. The rate of colonization of vascular bandles by Lxx in stalks of each cultivar was determined. Statistical analysis by the univariate clustering method (Scott-Knott) was reliable for grouping genotypes according to their levels of Lxx resistance by the percentage of CVB. The cultivar CB47-355 did not present any CVB, while CB41-76 and CB49-260 presented 17% and 76%, being classified as resistant, intermediate and susceptible, in agreement with previous literature. Among the varieties in test, 12 were intermediates and 13 susceptibles. The percent of CVB among the intermediate and susceptible cultivars varied from 7% to 25% and 25,7 to 76%, respectively. The knowledge of resistance of each cultivar is essential for advising the use of complementary phytossanitary measures to control the disease. Since all cultivars are intermediate or susceptible, the sugarcane breeding programs need specific works for selection and releasing of resistant cultivars. Before this, schemes of nurseries and the use clean seed cane are recommended.
