Abstract The symptoms of the leaf scald disease can be reproduced in vitro through the inoculation of sugarcane tissue culture plantlets. The pathogen is detected in the inoculated plantlet and is maintained at the surface of the base of the plantlets grown in vitro. Two strains of X. albilineans belonging to different serovars and lysovars reacted like pathotypes. The importance of the plant incubation temperature is clearly demonstrated. Further, in vitro the disease goes through the same phase of latency as in the field.
