    Improving the Plant breeding selection system for Fiji Disease Resistance : SRDC final report BSS255
    (2005) Croft, BJ; Ridley, AW; Dhileepan, K; James, AP
    Fiji leaf gall (FLG) has caused major epidemics in the Australian sugar industry in the past. All new cultivars of sugarcane released in areas affected by FLG should be resistant to the disease. New cultivars have been tested for resistance in field trials in the past but the field trials are unreliable with only a third of trials in the last 28 years giving reliable ratings. The aim of this project was to develop a method of rating clones for resistance to FLG that would be accurate, reliable and practical to implement in the BSES-CSIRO variety improvement program.

    Acquisition of Fiji disease virus by Perkinsiella saccharicida kirk and observations on its instars
    (BSES, 1984) Croft, BJ; Ryan, CC
    The first, second and third instars of Perkinsiella saccharicida were the only stages which transmitted Fiji disease virus to healthy Q70 plants after a 48 hour access feed on diseased plants. A key to distinguish the developmental stages of P.saccharicida was developed with the main distinguishing features being eye colour, and the shape, length and relationship, one to the other, of the fore and hind wing pads.
