New race of sugarcane smut on Maui View info about Adobe Acrobat PDF format
"One variety [of sugarcane] considered to be completely resistant was H78-7750. This had never been seen to become infected with smut. However, in 2001 several seed fields on Maui were observed to have smut whips. It was confirmed that this variety was infected with a new race of the smut fungus, but was still resistant to the old smut race." [excerpted from abstract]
