Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV; Poacevirus; Potyviridae) causes streak mosaic disease in sugarcane (Saccharum interspecific hybrids), a major industrial crop widely cultivated for sugar and ethanol production in tropical and subtropical regions.Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is a serious disease that affects monocotyledonous plants, including sugarcane, and causes growth and productivity to decline. RNA interference (RNAi) is a method for controlling viral infection in plants that inhibits gene expression through RNA-mediated sequence-specific interactions.Sugarcane is related to Sorghum bicolor and Zea mays and belongs to the Poaceae family, genus Saccharum. Sugarcane is a monocotyledonous, tall, perennial, and economically important true grass that is cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions, producing two-thirds of the world's sugar, a 143-billion-dollar industry. Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV), Sugarcane streak mosaic virus (SCSMV), and Sorghum mosaic virus are among the viral diseases that affect it (SrMV). The aim of the research is to study use of an RNAi approach to control SCSMV in sugarcane.The current study on SCSMV disease control in sugarcane will provide a foundation and significantly broaden the scope of virus disease control using an RNAi approach.
