Abstract:Sugarcane is the most important sugar crop in the world. Viral disease was a serious problem in sugarcane production which was deteriorated by the yearly increase of infected plants during sugarcane vegetatively propagation. Up to date, it was reported that there are at least eight viruses could infect sugarcane: Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), Sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV), Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV), Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV), Sugarcane Fiji disease virus (SFDV), Sugarcane streak virus (SSV) and Sugarcane bacilliform virus (SCBV). The characteristics of these viruses, the diseases they caused and their controlling strategy were briefly reviewed and some comments on the researches on sugarcane viral diseases in China were proposed in this paper.
