Assessment of bulk segregant analysis and marker- assisted selection for economically important traits in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS138
Carroll, B; Berding, N; McIntyre, L (1998)The main aim of this project was to assess the feasibility of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and marker-assisted selection for important traits in sugarcane. The target trait for this feasibility study was rust resistance. ... -
Characterisation and maintenance of the Australian sugarcane mapping populations
McIntyre, L (BSES, 2003)There were two major aims to this project. The first was to identify markers linked to major diseases of sugarcane that were difficult and expensive to select for. The second objective was to determine the cross-transferability ... -
Climate ready sugarcane : traits for adaptation to high CO2 levels
Stokes, CJ; Inman-Bamber, NG (2014)Recent work in Brazil and Florida had shown strong responses of sugarcane to elevated CO2, even under well-watered conditions. These results were not expected from current understanding of leaf physiology, given that ... -
Evaluation and re-structuring of regional selection programs to maximise efficiency and speed of cultivar release
Chapman, SC; Rattey, A; Jackson, PA (2002)Continual delivery of new cultivars is required to maintain resistance to existing and new pests and diseases, and to provide constant improvement in crop productivity, quality and profitability for an internationally ... -
Functional genomics for enhanced sugar accumulation in sugarcane : final report CPI002
Manners, J; Casu, R (2003)Improvement in CCS of sugarcane would provide considerable benefits to the whole sugar industry by improving profitability via enhanced efficiencies in both sugarcane and raw sugar production. Improvements in CCS bring ... -
Improved selection systems and data analysis in sugarcane breeding programs : SRDC final report BSS250
Wei, X; Jackson, PA (2006) -
Introgression of new genes from Saccharum officinarum
Jackson, P; Piperidis, G; Aitken, K; Li, J; Morgan, T; Foreman, J; Hewitt, M; McIntyre, L; Berding, N (SRDC, 2004)Modern sugarcane cultivars are derived from two main ancestral species: Saccharum officinarum, which is the main source of high sucrose levels, and S. spontaneum. Only a small number of clones of either species have ever ... -
New soybean varieties for fallow cropping of sugarcane fields : SRDC Final report
James, A (2008)Cropping of soybean has been shown by the yield decline joint venture to increase the yield of the following sugar crop by 15 to 30 percent. Part of the benefit occurs via provision of nitrogen to the following cane crop ... -
Overcoming constraints to high yield and CCS in large and lodged cane crops
Chapman, SC; Jackson, PA; Lawn, RJ (2001)Past research indicates that large sugarcane crops (that usually also happen to be lodged) experience a slowdown in growth during winter, well before harvest (Muchow et al. 1996). The project examined factors affecting the ... -
Perfect markers for sugarcane mapping
McIntyre, L (2001)Sugarcane is a complex aneuploid, polyploid, interspecific hybrid. Most breeding traits are complex and molecular markers associated with these traits are a tool that may assist breeders to more efficiently identify sugarcane ... -
Provision of improved varieties and pathology services for the Ord Sugar Industry : final report CTA043
Jackson, P (2003)This project was established to introduce and evaluate new sugarcane varieties into the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA), and to provide advice on pathology issues relating to the ORIA. Cultivars in the ORIA currently are ... -
Provision of improved varieties and pathology services for the Ord Sugar Industry : Final report CTA043
Jackson, P (2012)This project was established to introduce and evaluate new sugarcane varieties into the Ord river Irrigation Area (ORIA), and to provide advice on pathology issues relating to the ORIA. Cultivars in the ORIA currently are ... -
Sugarcane compositional analysis to enable food safety assessment of modified varieties
Rae, A; Bonnett, G (2013)An important component of demonstrating that the products of GM sugarcane varieties are substantially equivalent to conventional varieties is whether the nutritional composition falls within the range of compositions that ... -
The transfer of high CCS traits from wild relatives to sugarcane using biochemical markers
Grof, C; Manners, J (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 ...
