Four sugarcane ScDIR genes contribute to lignin biosynthesis and disease resistance to Sporisorium scitamineum

Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is a major sucrose and bioenergy crop in the world. The fungal pathogen Sporisorium scitamineum causes sugarcane smut, a devastating disease that destroys stalks and reduces sugar content in sugarcane.
