![]() Based on the morphological characteristics and phylogenetic tree generated using sequences of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacers, Xylaria arbuscula was identified to be the causal agent of RBSR. Accordingly, the fungal pathogen from diseased sugarcane in South Sumatra was isolated and the internal transcribed spacer region and morphological characteristics were used to identify the causal agent. Here, we aimed to isolate and characterize the causal agent of sugarcane RBSR in South Sumatra based on morphological and molecular analyses. ![]() However, the causal agent of sugarcane RBSR in South Sumatra, Indonesia, has still not been characterized. Based on morphological characteristics, Xylaria cf warburgii was identified as the causal agent of this disease in Taiwan and Lampung, Indonesia. This disease was first described in Taiwan. Root and basal stem rot (RBSR) is a new serious disease affecting sugarcane plantation in Indonesia and can lead to devastating yield losses in crop-producing areas, particularly in Lampung and South Sumatra.
