SRDC Research Project final report Increased CCS, cane yield and water use efficiency by exploiting interactions between genetics and management
(2009)
In October 2003 delegates at an international workshop on sugarcane physiology funded by SRDC concluded that priority should be directed at a better understanding of traits responsible for high yield and high sucrose ...
The transfer of high CCS traits from wild relatives to sugarcane using biochemical markers
(2003)
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 ...
The role of root growth and activity in determining sugarcane productivity : SRDC final report CLW002 (previously CSS02 & CSS2S)
(1999)
Research conducted in this project aimed to better understand the relationship between root and shoot growth, in areas such as how the size of the root system affects shoot growth, do particular root parameters have a ...
Building strategic research capacity for the sugar industry aimed at overcoming physiological, biochemical and environmental constraints to cane growth, breeding and sucrose yield
(1999)
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, ...
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 ...
Pathways to exploiting enhanced photosynthetic efficiency for higher sucrose and biomass yield
(2011)
Australia has one of the highest commercial cane sugar (CCS) levels in the world but unfortunately CCS appears to have plateaud at about 14% of fresh cane weight over the past 20 years. Up to now in breeding programs, ...
Biomass accumulation in sugarcane : final report 79/9028
(1984)
Growth analysis experiments were conducted at Ayr and Bundaberg from 1979 to 1982 to study biomass accumulation in plant and ratoon crops of sugarcane. Crops were planted and ratooned in March, June, September and December, ...
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production: a physiological basis for crop response to water supply
(1999)
Although sugar is produced in the some of the most humid regions of Australia, water remains a major limitation to production. Experience in other rainfed and irrigated production systems in Australia has shown that use ...
Environmental stimuli for sugarcane suckering in the wet tropics : SRDC final report BSS221
(2003)
The northern section of the industry has been in crisis for most of the years in the decade up to 2002 because of declining CCS. This decline has been due to increased extraneous matter levels due largely to increased ...
