    Development of commercial molecular biological assays for improved sugarcane soil health and productivity : final report 2018/009
    (Sugar Research Australia Limited) Magarey, R; McKay, A
    Project research has shown that the DNA-based molecular assays for Pachymetra chaunorhiza, Pratylenchus zeae and Meloidogyne species quantify soil populations in field samples, confirming research undertaken in project 2016047, and has also confirmed the importance of sampling strategy and storage for obtaining representative data. Some further research is needed with P. chaunorhiza to ensure the accuracy of the molecular assay; the focus should be on sample storage conditions, amongst other things. Soil samples were processed from soil health projects, plant breeding selection trials and industry samples sent to the Tully soil assay laboratory.

    The production and evaluation of gene probes for diagnosis of sugarcane mosaic virus and Fiji disease virus (Final report SRDC Project BS10S)
    (BSES, 1991) Smith, GR; Leonard, GJ
    Specific and sensitive cDNA probes have been developed for detection of both FDV and SCMV in diseased sugarcane plants. Results from glasshouse evaluation indicate that FDV probes are not sensitive enough to be used for the detection of the virus in asymptomatic diseased plants. Results are not yet available from the SCMV probe glasshouse trial.
