Fine mapping of major rust resistance gene in cultivar R570 with a view towards it closing through map-bases chromosome walking
(1999)
A major gene for rust resistance has been identified in cultivar R570 (Daugrois et ai, 19%). Rust disease is caused by the fungus Puccinia malenocephala Syd P. Syd and is distributed worldwide. Inheritance of resistance ...
Best linear unbiased prediction as a method for predicting cross potential : SRDC final report BS119S
(1999)
Until recently, BSES breeders used an empirical formula to assess the breeding potential of a parent (Hogarth and Skinner, 1986). Although this method uses data from many sources, it needs to draw on data accumulated for ...
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 ...
Building strategic research capacity for the sugar industry aimed at overcoming physiological, biochemical and environmental constraints to cane growth, breeding and sucrose yield
(1999)
Using the CSIRO Controlled Environment Facility, the discrete effects on the rate and extent of sucrose accumulation in sugarcane of four significant environmental parameters (daily light integral, radiation levels, ...
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production: a physiological basis for crop response to water supply
(1999)
Although sugar is produced in the some of the most humid regions of Australia, water remains a major limitation to production. Experience in other rainfed and irrigated production systems in Australia has shown that use ...
Optimum selection strategies in original seedlings particularly for heavily lodged crops : SRDC final report BS46S
(1999)
The objectives for this project were: to evaluate the effectiveness of family selection in the plant crop of original seedlings of sugarcane grown to full crop potential in the Burdekin region. The crop will probably be ...
Genotype selection and management strategies for exploitation of responses to high planting densities : SRDC final report BS137S
(1999)
The objectives of this project were to: evaluate the potential for high density planting (close row spacings) to increase yields over a range of conditions; assess the genetic potential available to exploit higher planting ...
Map-based chromosome and trait tagging in sugarcane using cytological and RFLP markers
(1999)
Sugarcane is a complex aneuploid, polyploid, interspecific hybrid. At the time that this project began, molecular mapping in sugarcane was in its infancy and was only being attempted in interspecific crosses or within the ...
