This study uses comparative transcriptomics to identify distinct defense strategies in resistant and susceptible sugarcane cultivars against Pratylenchus zeae, highlighting key molecular pathways and potential targets for breeding.

The paper evaluates reference gene stability in energy cane under smut infection and identifies antioxidant gene expression patterns associated with resistance.

The paper examines how soil type and sugarcane genotype influence microbial recruitment and plant gene expression, revealing soil-dependent, genotype-specific strategies.
