Effect of far-red radiation on flowering of saccharum spp. hybrids
(1990)
Many tropical sugarcane clones (Saccharum spp. hybrids) are unavailable for hybridization because of poor flowering. Methods are required to improve the flowering of such clones. This study was conducted to determine ...
Optimum family felection for net merit grade : stage 2 trials BS45S
(1996)
Mass selection of individuals in seedling or early clonal stage trials is routinely used in most sugarcane improvement programs throughout the world. It is, however, inefficient as the Heritability of cane yield on a ...
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 ...
Provision of improved varieties and pathology services for the Ord Sugar Industry : final report CTA043
(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 ...
Field performance of transgenic sugarcane plants carrying genes for resistance to SCMV : final report BSS154
(2000)
The field resistance of transgenic sugarcane plants to sugarcane mosaic potyvirus was successfully demonstrated, and a number of transgenic lines are available for consideration for agronomic evaluation. Some of the ...
Selection of a non-sugarcane gene for control of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS95S
(1996)
Four types of non-sugarcane genes were investigation for potential toxictiy to canegrubs. They were: toxins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt); plant proteinase inhibitors; plant lectins; and avidin. Each of ...
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 ...
