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 ...

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, ...

A method for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sugarcane tissues has been developed in this project. This method offers an alternative technique for the introduction of transgenes into sugarcane. In general, ...

The core research strategy we conceived was to develop the initial observation of direct shoot regeneration in sugarcane leaf tissues to a generic and efficient plant production technology for sugarcane and probably for ...
