White Leaf Disease is a devastating disease that affects sugar cane crops in Thailand and has become a
major issue for farmers. The disease starts with a white
line forming in the center of the sugar cane's leaves,
which can change in size and shape as it develops. The sugar cane's new leaves will become increasingly whiter, often having stunted growth, and resulting in the sugar cane being less productive than the non-
infected plants, Scientists are trying to determine
what organelle must be damaged to produce the
observed results,

White leaf disease is caused by phytoplasma. The disease infects the leaves and create white spots in them.

The farmers in Thailand are facing this issue with sugarcane crops. The organisms infect phloem tissues in sugar cane and cause the leaves to turn white.

The size and shape can change as sometimes there are fine white lines created while sometime there are white spots.

Scientists are trying to deal with such disease and an spray of liquid copper has been found beneficial to treat this disease. The white spot fungus stops to spread with the spray.

advantage of using stem cells in medical research:

1.       it provides medical benefits in the fields of therapeutic cloning and regenerative medicine.

2. it provides great potential for discovering treatments and cures to a variety of diseases including parkinson disease, spinal cord injuries, diabetes, alzheimer’s disease and many more.

3. limbs and organ could be grown in lab from stem cells and then used in transplant or treat illness.
