Effect of culture conditions on growth and genetic integrity of in vitro sugarcane plants : SRDC final report BS60S
(1995) Taylor, PWJ
Establishment of an In Vitro germplasm collection of basic sugarcane species and related genera : SRDC final report BS59S
(1995) Taylor, PWJ
Regeneration of sugarcane plants from protoplasts
(1991) Taylor, PWJ
This study aimed to develop a protoplast regeneration system for sugarcane so that gene transfer techniques could be applied for cultivar improvement. Published techniques for embryogenic callus culture, cell suspension culture, protoplast culture and plant regeneration in sugarcane were developed and tested using only a few cultivars. These techniques were further developed, evaluated and adapted for application to a range of commercial sugarcane cultivars.
Regeneration of sugarcane plants from protoplasts and application of genetic transformation systems to sugarcane
(1986) Taylor, PWJ
Current gene transfer systems developed for modifying plants include direct gene transfer to protoplasts and Agrobacterium mediated gene transfer. These studies have important practical implications for application of genetic engineering technology to crop improvement, initially in sugarcane, and subsequently in other graminaceous crops for which sugarcane may serve as a model.
