The physiological and growth response of sugarcane to the sodium absorption ratio in flowing solution sand culture
(1994)The growth of sugarcane variety Q117 in sand culture using nutrient solutions with sodium absorption ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30, each with a constant electrical conductivity of 1.5 dS/m was determined under glasshouse ... -
The production and evaluation of gene probes for diagnosis of sugarcane mosaic virus and Fiji disease virus (Final report SRDC Project BS10S)
(BSES, 1991)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 production of genetic constructs for expression of sugarcane mosaic virus coat protein in sugarcane protoplasts : SRDC final report BS9S
(1990)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 ... -
The production of transgenic sugarcane plants : SRDC final report BS44S
(1994)Transgenic sugarcane plants, which expressed the coat protein of SCMV at a very low level, were produced by micoprojectile bombardment of sugarcane meristems. Transgenic plants expressing the luciferase (Luc) and B-glucuronidase ... -
The promotion and delay of flowering
(1979)Several aspects of promoted flowering and delayed flowering were examined in small experiments at Meringa. These have application in the controlled flowering of parent varieties to facilitate a greater range of parent ... -
The role of Pythium species in yield decline in Southern cane growing districts : SRDC final report BS80S
(BSES, 1998)Yield decline has been demonstrated in all established canegrowing regions of Queensland. Field and glasshouse studies with soil fumigants have shown that yield decline is largely caused by soilborne biological factors. ... -
The role of root growth and activity in determining sugarcane productivity : SRDC final report CLW002 (previously CSS02 & CSS2S)
(1999)Research conducted in this project aimed to better understand the relationship between root and shoot growth, in areas such as how the size of the root system affects shoot growth, do particular root parameters have a ... -
The transfer of high CCS traits from wild relatives to sugarcane using biochemical markers
(2003)Over the last 40 years of sugarcane breeding in Australia there have been significant improvements in cane yield but little to no improvement in commercial cane sugar (CCS). It has been hypothesised that this lack of gain ... -
The use of aggregation pheromones for the management of weevil borers in cane fields
(BSES, 2000)Pheromone mass trapping of adult sugarcane weevil borer, Rhabdoscelus obscurus, was conducted during February-June 1999 in far-north Queensland using a combination of rhynchophorol/octanol, ethyl acetate and pieces of split ... -
The value chain of the Australian Sugar Industry : developments in the period 1970-2005 and future opportunities
(2006)This report by the Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC) provides an overview of the “state-of-the-art” of value chain improvement in the Australian sugar industry. It seeks to firstly, improve the level of ... -
Tissue culture - managing impediments to adoption in Tully : final report 2014/093
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)The world is moving and changing every year, it is timely to investigate technologies available outside our current industry practice. When the opportunity arrives we need to take it and explore the possibilities as an ... -
Too wet to forget - reducing the impact of excessive rainfall on productivity : Final report 2014/046
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Too wet to forget – reducing the impact of excessive rainfall on productivity, was established due to the large productivity losses associated with La-Nina events in the sugarcane industry. The effect of waterlogging ... -
Towards functional specifications of a sampling scheme for commercial sampling of prepared cane : final report V89/17
(BSES, 1990)Payment by Australian sugar mills to sugar can growers has for many years been based on samples of "first expressed juice" - the juice squeezed from prepared cane at the number one mill. This basis for payment is ... -
Towards long-term sustainability of sugarcane farming in the Johnstone River catchment
(2001)Cane farmers are important stakeholders in the Johnstone River Catchment. Their engagement in the sustainability debate is essential, however, at times they appear to be isolated from it. The Johnstone River Catchment ... -
TRAILblazers : 2012 report
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2012)The TRAILblazers program offers a unique opportunity for seasoned leaders who may not have had the chance to undertake formal leadership training previously, or who need to refresh their leadership agenda and goals. The ... -
Transformation of sugarcane using Agrobacterium tumefaciens : final report on CTA027
(2000)A method for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sugarcane tissues has been developed in this project. This method offers an alternative technique for the introduction of transgenes into sugarcane. In general, ... -
Travel and leaving project : Final report
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2009)The purpose of this forum was to provide people within the sugar industry, who are 25 to 45 years of age, with the opportunity to come together to share their picture of the sugar industry in five years time, as well as ... -
