Carroll, B; McIntyre, L; Berding, N (1999)The project objectives were as follows: -
Assessing clonal and nitrogen interaction on ccs in sugarcane in the wet tropis ; SRDC project BSS180 final report
Hurney, AP; Berding, N; Grace, D (2003)There has been a negative trend in CCS in the Tully-Mossman region since the mid-1960s that has been linked to increased extraneous matter and suckers in the cane supply. The situation had become particularly bad during ... -
Assessment of bulk segregant analysis and marker- assisted selection for economically important traits in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS138
Carroll, B; Berding, N; McIntyre, L (1998)The main aim of this project was to assess the feasibility of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and marker-assisted selection for important traits in sugarcane. The target trait for this feasibility study was rust resistance. ... -
Duplication of photoperiodic initiation facility at BSES : SRDC Final report BSS218
Berding, N (2000)Partnership-funded research by SRDC and BSES has resulted in excellent flowering being obtainable in populations of parental sugarcanes that flowered reluctantly, or never, under natural conditions at BSES Meringa. This ... -
Effect of far-red radiation on flowering of saccharum spp. hybrids
Berding, N; Moore, PH (1990)Many tropical sugarcane clones (Saccharum spp. hybrids) are unavailable for hybridization because of poor flowering. Methods are required to improve the flowering of such clones. This study was conducted to determine ... -
Effect of far-red radiation on flowering of Saccharum spp. Hybrids : SRDC final report BS1S
Berding, N; Moore, PH (1990)Many tropical sugarcane clones (Saccharum spp. hybr ids) are unavailable for hybridization because of poor flowering. Methods are required to improve the flowering of such clones. This study was conducted to determine ... -
Effect of far-red radiation on flowering of Saccharum spp. hybrids : SRDC Final report BS1S
Berding, N; Moore, PH (1990)Many tropical sugarcane clones (Saccharum spp. hybrids) are unavailable for hybridization because of poor flowering. Methods are required to improve the flowering of such clones. This study was conducted to determine whether ... -
Efficiency of bunch-planted and single-planted seedlings for selecting superior crosses in sugar cane : volumes 1 - 7
Skinner, JC; Berding, N; Hogarth, DM (BSES, 2004) -
Environmental stimuli for sugarcane suckering in the wet tropics : SRDC final report BSS221
Berding, N; Hurney, AP; Bonnett, GD; Joseph, F (2003)The northern section of the industry has been in crisis for most of the years in the decade up to 2002 because of declining CCS. This decline has been due to increased extraneous matter levels due largely to increased ... -
evelopment of a strategy for selection of high-CCS cultivars for high-fertility environments in northern Queensland : SRDC Final report BSS179
Berding, N; Hurney, AP; Swain, RS (2004)The need to develop a strategy for cultivar development for high-fertility soils present in northern Queensland was driven by industry concerns regarding a declining CCS pattern in years prior to commencement of this ... -
High day temperature inhibition of sugarcane flowering : SRDC final report BSS158
Berding, N; King, RW (2000)The objectives of this project was to determine the sensitivity of the floral initiation process in sugarcane to day temperatures exceeding 32?C.The objective was not achieved because no meristems were initiated in the ... -
Inheritance of resistance to pachymetra root rot : SRDC final report BS27S
Croft, BJ; Berding, N (BSES, 1994)Genetical resistance to root pathogens is a sensible strategy for disease control in a perennial crop such as sugarcane. Pachymetra root rot is a serious disease in Queensland and can cause losses of 30-40% in susceptible ... -
Introgression of erianthus germplasm into the saccharum gene pool & Investigation of the saccharum spontaneum contribution to commercial clones by genomic DNA In SITU hybridisation : SRDC Final reports BS115 & BS139
Piperidis, G; D'Hont, A; Berding, N (1999)Project objectives: -
Introgression of new genes from Saccharum officinarum
Jackson, P; Piperidis, G; Aitken, K; Li, J; Morgan, T; Foreman, J; Hewitt, M; McIntyre, L; Berding, N (SRDC, 2004)Modern sugarcane cultivars are derived from two main ancestral species: Saccharum officinarum, which is the main source of high sucrose levels, and S. spontaneum. Only a small number of clones of either species have ever ... -
Optimum plot shape for variety trials - effect of competition between varieties : Final report 39905083
Berding, N; Skinner, JC (1991)Four plot shapes were compared using four replications of 60 clones. The shapes were 4-row long (4L), 4-row short (4S), 2-row long (2L) and 1-row long (1L). The standard length of 9.2m was used for long plots, short plots ... -
Reducing the Australian sugar industry's genetic vulnerability to sugarcane smut : SRDC final report BSS256
Croft, BJ; Berding, N (2007)Sugarcane smut was recorded for the first time in Australia in July 1998 in the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) and was identified in the Bundaberg/Isis, Central and Herbert regions of Queensland in 2006. Sugarcane smut ... -
Resistance mechanisms and selection for resistance in sugarcane to sugarcane weevil borer : SRDC final report BSS15
Berding, N (BSES, 2005)This project primarily sought to determine resistance mechanisms and selection mechanisms for resistance in sugarcane to SWB (Sugarcane weevil borer). As such it addressed the SRDC strategies of developing more productive ... -
Screening of Australian germplasm for resistance to sugarcane smut - SRDC final project report BSS214
Croft, BJ; Berding, N (BSES, 2004)Sugarcane smut is a destructive disease that has spread to all commercial sugarcane production areas except Fiji, Papua New Guinea and the east coast of Australia. The disease was recorded for the first time in Australia ... -
Smut-proofing the Australian industry - ensuring a reliable cane supply through reduced genetic vulnerability to sugarcane smut
Croft, BJ; Berding, N (BSES, 2009)Since the smut incursion and subsequent spread of the disease breeding for smut resistance has become an essential priority for the BSES-CSIRO Variety Improvement program. The strategy that has been adopted includes the ... -
