    Identification of resistance mechanisms in sugarcane to infection by Pachymetra : SRDC final report BS79S
    (BSES, 1999) McGhie, TK; Maclean, D; Smith, GR; Croft, BJ
    Project objectives- Develop techniques for studying the biochemical reactions of sugarcane to infection by Pachymetra.- Identify biochemical mechanisms of infection by Pachymetra.- Identify biochemical changes produced in sugarcane by infection with Pachymetra.- Compare the effect of chemical constituents of different sugarcane varieties on Pachymetra oospore germination and hyphal growth.- Determine which resistance mechanisms and responses of sugarcane are present in resistant varieties, ranked by glasshouse screening, as an aid to future breeding programs.
