Abstract
We evaluated the resistance of 102 clones of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) relatives to Ustilago scitaminea, causal agent of sugarcane smut, in two greenhouse experiments. Relatives included Erianthus spp. section Ripidum, S. barberi/S. sinense, S. officinarum, S. robustum, S. spontaneum, and Saccharum interspecific hybrids (cultivars). Clones of Erianthus spp. section Ripidium were the most resistant and clones of S. officinarum and S. robustum were the most susceptible of the six taxonomic groups included in the first experiment
