12年前，我们对宿根矮化病（RSD）的了解几乎完全局限于疾病的诊断和通过农场卫生控制，对致病因子（Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli）和宿主植物甘蔗（甘蔗属（Acanthumspp.）hybrids）。从那时起，研究的重点是开发剖析L的分子工具。木霉亚种xyli，从而可以开发更好的控制策略以防止RSD造成的损失。本文就近年来L.木霉亚种xyli并强调未来的挑战。在简要介绍了RSD的历史背景后，我们讨论了分子工具的发展，如转化和转座子诱变，并讨论了L。木霉亚种xyli世界人口。我们接着讨论了L.木霉亚种xyli，描述了关键的发现，并建议一些未来的研究的基础上已知的缺陷，将利用这一巨大的知识基础，我们现在可以访问。
Twelve years ago our understanding of ratoon stunting disease (RSD) was confined almost exclusively to diagnosis of the disease and control via farm hygiene, with little understanding of the biology of the interaction between the causal agent (Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli) and the host plant sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids). Since then, research has focused on developing the molecular tools to dissect L. xyli subsp. xyli, so that better control strategies can be developed to prevent losses from RSD. Within this review, we give a brief overview of the progression in research on L. xyli subsp. xyli and highlight future challenges. After a brief historical background on RSD, we discuss the development of molecular tools such as transformation and transposon mutagenesis and discuss the apparent lack of genetic diversity within the L. xyli subsp. xyli world population. We go on to discuss the sequencing of the genome of L. xyli subsp. xyli, describe the key findings and suggest some future research based on known deficiencies that will capitalise on this tremendous knowledge base to which we now have access.
