GxE interactions on ratooning of genotypes under trash blankets under cool/wet conditions : SRDC final report BS169S
(2000)
This project was established to investigate the magnitude of the genotype by environment interaction effect for ratooning under a trash blanketing under cool/wet conditions. A population of 50 genotypes was deemed necessary ...
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 ...
Literature review of methods of improving the germination of sugarcane : SRDC final report BSS208
(2000)
Sugarcane is propagated from vegetative cuttings of the stalk (setts or billets). The cuttings can be planted by hand or through mechanical whole-stalk or billet planters. Billet planters have given variable results ...
High day temperature inhibition of sugarcane flowering : SRDC final report BSS158
(2000)
The objectives of this project was to determine the sensitivity of the floral initiation process in sugarcane to day temperatures exceeding 32?C.The objective was not achieved because no meristems were initiated in the ...
Sugarcane smut variety screening in the Ord : final report WAA002
(2000)
A sugarcane smut screening trial was initiated in the Ord with planting in September 1999. Eighty-four cane varieties were rated for sugarcane smut susceptibility. Varieties included those introduced through SRDC project ...
Optimisation of the initial stages of the New South Wales selection program : SRDC final project report BS96S
(2002)
The main aim of this project was to obtain the basic information required to implement an efficient and effective breeding and selection program in NSW. However, the project suffered major difficulties that affected the ...
Characterisation of proteinase inhibitors from canegrubs for possible application to genetically engineer pest-derived resistance into sugarcane : SRDC final report STU032
(2005)
The primary objective of this research was to identify, isolate and clone a proteinase inhibitor from the haemolymph of a canegrub species with activity against the major midgut proteases of the source insect. The potential ...
Knowledge of sugarcane physiology and climate-crop-soil interactions : SRDC final report
(2003)
Compared to other crops, knowledge of growth mechanisms in sugarcane is inadequate. The question arises as to how much longer can we continue to prosper from sugarcane if knowledge of the growth processes on which our ...
Overcoming constraints to high yield and CCS in large and lodged cane crops
(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 ...
Development and application of spatial analysis to improve precision in selection trials : SRDC final report BSS231
(2004)
In the early stages of selection, a sugarcane breeder tests a large number of genotypes. As the amount of planting material for each genotype for testing is typically limited, selections are usually made on small, ...
