    Sugarcane smut variety screening in the Ord : final report WAA002
    (2000) Sherrard, J
    A sugarcane smut screening trial was initiated in the Ord with planting in September 1999. Eighty-four cane varieties were rated for sugarcane smut susceptibility. Varieties included those introduced through SRDC project CT A043 and other commercial lines introduced previously. Setts were inoculated with smut spores prior to planting and varieties rated for smut susceptibility at 8, IS and 31 weeks from planting. The trial area was ratooned on 12 May 2000. The ratoon crop was rated at 8 and 16 weeks with final rating planned for OctoberlNovember 2000.

    The production of genetic constructs for expression of sugarcane mosaic virus coat protein in sugarcane protoplasts : SRDC final report BS9S
    (1990) SRDC
    This project was one phase of research required for production of transgenic sugarcane. Through this project the sugar industry now has a synthetic resistance gene against SCMV that expresses in sugarcane plant cells. When sugarcane plants are regenerated from protoplasts or the biolistic gene is adopted for use in sugarcane, this gene may be used to produce transgenic cane plants combining their original agronomic characteristics with SCMV resistance.
