The physiological and growth response of sugarcane to the sodium absorption ratio in flowing solution sand culture
(1994)
The growth of sugarcane variety Q117 in sand culture using nutrient solutions with sodium absorption ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30, each with a constant electrical conductivity of 1.5 dS/m was determined under glasshouse ...
Irrigation water use in the Eton irrigation scheme
(1994)
The objectives of the survey were: to determine irrigation management strategies used by the canegrowers; to determine water use efficiency for individual blocks; and to identify irrigation practices which affect water use ...
Enhancement of the sensitivity of gene probes for viral diseases of sugarcane by the polymerase chain reaction : SRDC final report BS48S
(BSES, 1994)
The sensivity of gene probes for two important viral pathogens of sugarcane, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Fiji disease virus (FDV), has been significantly enhanced by a version of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ...
Inheritance of resistance to pachymetra root rot : SRDC final report BS27S
(BSES, 1994)
Genetical resistance to root pathogens is a sensible strategy for disease control in a perennial crop such as sugarcane. Pachymetra root rot is a serious disease in Queensland and can cause losses of 30-40% in susceptible ...
High efficiency production of transgenic sugarcane plants
(1994)
The efficiency of gene transfer into embryogenic callus of sugarcane has been increased tenfold by optimisation of particle bombardment conditions, and there is a corresponding increase in stable transformation frequencies. ...
The production of transgenic sugarcane plants : SRDC final report BS44S
(1994)
Transgenic sugarcane plants, which expressed the coat protein of SCMV at a very low level, were produced by micoprojectile bombardment of sugarcane meristems. Transgenic plants expressing the luciferase (Luc) and B-glucuronidase ...
Optimising rejection of dirt by cane harvesters : SRDC Final report BS26S
(1994)
