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 ...
Genetic control and genomic selection for important traits in sugarcane, and comparison of elite Indian and Australian germplasm : final report AISRF/48454
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)
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, ...
Breeding clones with high early sugar content : SRDC final report BSS93
(2002)
The project BSS25 ?Breeding of clones with high early sugar content? concluded that the potential for increasing CCS through breeding and selection was greatest early in the season. BSS25 commenced a recurrent selection ...
Production and evaluation of SCMV resistant transgenic sugarcane pests derived from transformed callus : SRDC final report BS94S
(1997)
We have successfully demonstrated that sugarcane can be genetically engineered for resistance to sugarcane mosaic virus, using the coat protein gene of the virus to mediate resistance. At present the frequency of plants ...
Sugarcane root systems for increased productivity; development and application of a root health assay : final report 2015/002
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)
A better understanding of the sugarcane root system has the potential to improve productivity and overcome soil constraints. By adapting the digital methods that have been developed in other crops, we have developed a ...
Optimising productivity and variety recommendations through analysis of mill data : final report 2014/054
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Production peaked in the Herbert River mills in 2005 at 5.5 Mt, and in 2015 was 4.5 Mt. Cane and sugar yields during this period have also been below average, particularly in 2011, and significant areas went from growing ...
