Profit based measures to capture, evaluate and prioritise genetic improvement of water use efficiency and nitrogen use efficiency in sugarcane : final report 2014/302
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Sugar Research Australia (SRA) contracted AbacusBio Pty Ltd with IDA Economics Pty Ltd to undertake a systems modelling project to estimate the relative economic value of two potential new performance traits of sugarcane ...
Seed dormancy and establishment: a critical gap in knowledge to support safe deployment of GM
(2015)
The development and adoption of new varieties is a major investment in the Australian sugar industry. There are several modern techniques now being introduced into sugarcane breeding, such as introgression of Erianthus and ...
Faster flowering - new opportunities for genetic improvement: final report 2012/024
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
In sugarcane, flowering is essential to breeding but is not a pre-requisite for commercial production. Consequently, our knowledge of the processes that control flowering lags behind other crops where the seed is the ...
Field assessment and further development of high-sucrose sugarcane: final report 2014/069
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Sucrose accumulation is critically important in determining sugarcane productivity. Yet, improvement in sucrose content in sugarcane has been almost stagnant for decades in many sugarcane growing countries, including ...
AGR2008150 : Provision of research and development services for the Ord Sugarcane project
(2010)
The requirements for year 2 of the contract for the delivery of research and development services to the Ord sugar project have been fully achieved. The harvest results from two second ratoon, two first ratoon and two plant ...
Investigation of lignin biosynthesis in sugarcane for improved lignocellulosic ethanol production: final report 2010/068
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
Second generation bioethanol is a renewable energy resource produced from lignocellulosic biomass with the potential to reduce reliance on oil-based energy. Sugarcane bagasse is an abundant source of lignocellulosic material ...
Field evaluation of selected introgression clones for their resistance to root-knot nematodes : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Sugarcane nematodes, root-knot (RKN) and root-lesion (RLN), cause an estimated loss of over $80 million per year to the Australian sugar industry. In particular, RKN is a major problem if sugarcane is planted in sandy soil. ...
