Canegrub resistant plants containing antimetabolic compounds : SRDC final report BSS163
Smith, GR; Nutt, KA; Allsopp, PG (BSES, 2000)Transgenic sugarcane plants engineered to express either the potato proteinase inhibitor II or the snowdrop lectin gene show increased antibiosis to larvae of Antitrogus consanguineus in pot-based glasshouse trials.Canegrubs ... -
Characterisation of proteinase inhibitors from canegrubs for possible application to genetically engineer pest-derived resistance into sugarcane : SRDC final report STU032
Nutt, KA (2005)The primary objective of this research was to identify, isolate and clone a proteinase inhibitor from the haemolymph of a canegrub species with activity against the major midgut proteases of the source insect. The potential ... -
Plant resistance to canegrubs : SRDC final report BSS132
Allsopp, PG; Cox, MC; Nutt, KA (BSES, 2002)The project sought to determine the range and types of resistances to feeding by canegrubs in sugarcane clones and their wild relatives. Resistance was tested in both pot trials and field trials and the importance of ... -
