Development of DNA based diagnostic systems for sugarcane pathogens : SRDC final report UQ024
Maclean, D; Henderson, J; Croft, B (BSES, 2001)This project developed diagnostic assays for sugarcane pathogens using novel DNA detection technologies associated with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The bacterium Clavibacter xyli subsp. xyli (Cxx) causing ratoon ... -
High efficiency production of transgenic sugarcane plants
Bower, R; University of Queensland (1994)The efficiency of gene transfer into embryogenic callus of sugarcane has been increased tenfold by optimisation of particle bombardment conditions, and there is a corresponding increase in stable transformation frequencies. ... -
Nitrate retention at depth under sugarcane in Far North Queensland Wet Tropics
Rasiah, V; Armour, JD; Menzies, NW; Heiner, DH; Don, MJ (2002)Nitrogen mass-balance studies for sugarcane grown on Ferrosols (Krasnozem) in the Far North Queensland (FNQ) wet tropics have shown 30 to 50 kg N/ha/yr of the applied fertiliser+N leached below the root-zone (<0.75 m) as ... -
SaveN Cane : developing selection tools for N-efficient sugarcane
Schmidt, S; Lakshmanan, P; Cox, M; Robinson, N (2015)This project supports the sugar industry’s intensifying efforts to reduce its nitrogen (N) footprint that is caused by inefficient use of N fertiliser by the crop. The industry aims to minimise N pollution of coastal waters ... -
Sugar Research and Development Corporation final report Increasing sugar cane yields by improvements in soil structure
NSW Agriculture; University of Queensland; NSW Sugar Milling Co-op; Hughes, M; Nielsen, P; Grabski, A (1998)A project to increase sugar cane yields by improvements in soil structure was conducted at Broadwater, NSW. It was instigated in response to the poor physical structure of many cane soils and poor root development in many ... -
The bacterial biocontrol agent pasteuria penetrans can help control root-knot nematode on sugarcane
Bhuiyan, SA; Stirling, GR; Garlick, K; Anderson, J; Wickramasinghe, P; Wong, E (ASSCT, 2018)ROOT-KNOT NEMATODE (Meloidogyne javanica) is one of the most damaging pests of sugarcane, often causing heavy losses in coarse-textured sandy soils. The bacterial parasite Pasteuria penetrans is a potentially useful ... -
The fast fluorescence kinetics; a sensitive tool for early detection of water stress in sugarcane : ASSCT peer reviewed paper
Olsen, DJ; Shafei, R; Botha, FC (ASSCT, 2016)Water stress is a major constraint for sugarcane production in many regions of the world, including Australia. Sensitive and non-destructive early measurement of the crop response to water stress would be of great value ...
