Advancing yield, disease resistance and ratooning by exploiting new sources of genetic variability from wild relatives of sugarcane : phase 1
Piperidis, G (2017)This project was originally planned and designed for six years to allow collection of data over 2 or 3 ratoon crops. In this first phase of the project, all propagations and trials were well established and good quality ... -
AGR2008150 : Provision of research and development services for the Ord Sugarcane project
Croft, BJ; Webb, B; Piperidis, G (2009)BSES has provided the research and extension services to the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) sugar industry under a cooperative agreement with the WA Dept of Agriculture and Food since 2003. This contract was terminated ... -
AGR2008150 : Provision of research and development services for the Ord Sugarcane project
Croft, BJ; Webb, B; Piperidis, G (2010)The requirements for year 2 of the contract for the delivery of research and development services to the Ord sugar project have been fully achieved. The harvest results from two second ratoon, two first ratoon and two plant ... -
Application of molecular markers to sugarcane breeding
Jackson, P; Aitken, K; Baker, P; Foreman, J; Hewitt, M; Luckell, J; Piperidis, G; Li, J; Morgan, T; Wei, X (2006)The CRC SIIB marker application research aims to develop and evaluate ways to apply DNA markers to Australian sugarcane breeding programs to improve breeding, selection and fast release of high performing cultivars. This ... -
Exploiting Erianthus diversity to enhance sugarcane cultivars : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Piperidis, N; Tom, C; Aitken, KS; Atkin, FC; Piperidis, G (ASSCT, 2019)Introgression of Erianthus arundinaceus into the SRA sugarcane-breeding program has been a goal for researchers for many years. The Erianthus genome was finally accessible to sugarcane breeders with the identification in ... -
Field evaluation of selected introgression clones for their resistance to root-knot nematodes : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Bhuiyan, SA; Piperidis, G; Hu, F; Parfitt, R; Garlick, K; Quinn, B; Jakins, A (ASSCT, 2019)Sugarcane nematodes, root-knot (RKN) and root-lesion (RLN), cause an estimated loss of over $80 million per year to the Australian sugar industry. In particular, RKN is a major problem if sugarcane is planted in sandy soil. ... -
Genomic organisation of sugarcane cultivars revealed by chromosome-specific oligonucleotide probes : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Piperidis, N; Piperidis, G; D’Hont, A (ASSCT, 2021)Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is probably the crop with the most complex genome. Modern cultivars (2n=100-120) are derived from interspecific hybridization between the noble cane S. officinarum (2n=80) and the wild cane S. ... -
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 ... -
Optimisation of the initial stages of the New South Wales selection program : SRDC final project report BS96S
Piperidis, G (2002)The main aim of this project was to obtain the basic information required to implement an efficient and effective breeding and selection program in NSW. However, the project suffered major difficulties that affected the ... -
Seed-based in vitro propagation to accelerate variety development : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Zhao, L; Bolton, C; Piperidis, G; Eglinton, J (ASSCT, 2021)To shorten the current lengthy selection process in sugarcane breeding and to accelerate genetic gain, Sugar Research Australia is implementing a range of novel breeding strategies and selection tactics. One strategy is ... -
SRA's Improved Disease Rating System
Piperidis, G (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2021)Disease screening of varieties in the selection program is an important part of the decision-making process for advancement of clones through the program and release of new varieties to industry. For many years, disease ...
