Farming systems for green cane trash blankets in cool wet conditions : SRDC final report BS63S
(1998)
The three year project to evaluate different farming systems for green cane trash blanketing in cool wet conditions was directed at; evaluating the effect of different trash management practices on crop growth; evaluating ...
Herbicide phytotoxicity screening Central; Southern Queensland varieties 1989 season
(1990)
This report summarised the results of the three sugarcane phytotoxicity trials conducted on the Sugar Experiment Station, Bundaberg during 1989. Twelve approved, or promising varieties, from the central and southern districts ...
Selecting clones for better ratooning under wet harvesting conditions : SRDC final report CSR10S
(1997)
There were three broad aims of this project:
(i) To develop and evaluate a method for screening genetic material under conditions where there is (a) stool damage from harvesting machinery under wet conditions, and (b) ...
The production of genetic constructs for expression of sugarcane mosaic virus coat protein in sugarcane protoplasts : SRDC final report BS9S
(1990)
This project was one phase of research required for production of transgenic sugarcane. Through this project the sugar industry now has a synthetic resistance gene against SCMV that expresses in sugarcane plant cells. When ...
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 ...
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 ...
