Abstract
Three varieties of sugarcane, defined by their relative resistance to smut, were used to study chemical parameters involved in sucrose recovery from raw juices. The Barbados variety is extremely susceptible to smut whereas Jaronu is mid-resistant and Mayari is extremely smut resistant. Vegetative sugarcane buds were inoculated with teliospores and cultured in field conditions for 12 months. Infection always resulted in a decrease in the content of reducing sugars of juices, most markedly for Mayari plants, and an increase in the value of pol. The value of brix, remained unchanged for Jaronu and Barbados following infection, but increased for Mayari plants. Soluble polysaccharides and glycoproteins of juices increase after infection in Jaronu and Mayari plants, but decreases for Barbados specimens. On this basis, glycoproteins from sugarcane juices could be considered as a factor of biological resistance to smut.
