Field performance of transgenic sugarcane plants carrying genes for resistance to SCMV : final report BSS154
(2000)
The field resistance of transgenic sugarcane plants to sugarcane mosaic potyvirus was successfully demonstrated, and a number of transgenic lines are available for consideration for agronomic evaluation. Some of the ...
GxE interactions on ratooning of genotypes under trash blankets under cool/wet conditions : SRDC final report BS169S
(2000)
This project was established to investigate the magnitude of the genotype by environment interaction effect for ratooning under a trash blanketing under cool/wet conditions. A population of 50 genotypes was deemed necessary ...
Literature review of methods of improving the germination of sugarcane : SRDC final report BSS208
(2000)
Sugarcane is propagated from vegetative cuttings of the stalk (setts or billets). The cuttings can be planted by hand or through mechanical whole-stalk or billet planters. Billet planters have given variable results ...
High day temperature inhibition of sugarcane flowering : SRDC final report BSS158
(2000)
The objectives of this project was to determine the sensitivity of the floral initiation process in sugarcane to day temperatures exceeding 32?C.The objective was not achieved because no meristems were initiated in the ...
Sugarcane smut variety screening in the Ord : final report WAA002
(2000)
A sugarcane smut screening trial was initiated in the Ord with planting in September 1999. Eighty-four cane varieties were rated for sugarcane smut susceptibility. Varieties included those introduced through SRDC project ...
Production of an automated cane billet sampler for research trials : SRDC final report BSS156
(2000)
Sugarcane breeding and research programs currently rely on hand-cut sound whole-stalk samples for determination of commercial cane sugar (CCS) and other quality components. These samples of sugarcane are free from extraneous ...
Transformation of sugarcane using Agrobacterium tumefaciens : final report on CTA027
(2000)
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, ...
Development of transformation cassettes for sugarcane : SRDC final report QT002
(2000)
There are currently few gene regulation sequences (promoters/terminators) which have been shown to be effective in sugarcane. At present, the industry standard gene regulatory sequences used for genetic engineering of ...
Duplication of photoperiodic initiation facility at BSES : SRDC Final report BSS218
(2000)
Partnership-funded research by SRDC and BSES has resulted in excellent flowering being obtainable in populations of parental sugarcanes that flowered reluctantly, or never, under natural conditions at BSES Meringa. This ...
