An automated cane billet sampler for research trials : SRDC final report BS118S
(1998)
The Australian sugar industry invests millions of dollars annually on sugarcane breeding programs and associated research. Improved selection efficiency as a result of more accurate estimates of commercial cane sugar (ccs) ...
Construction of synthetic Fiji virus resistance genes for use in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS86S
(1998)
Fiji disease of sugarcane, caused by Fiji disease fijivirus (FDV), is one of the most important diseases affecting sugarcane in Australia. FDV is a member of the reovirus family and has a multipartite genome consisting ...
Optimal plot size and replication for testing clones in early stages of selection : SRDC final report CSR017
(1998)
The aim of CSRO 17 was to identifY optimal plot design, replication and selection criteria for testing and selecting clones in small plots in early stages of selection in sugarcane breeding programs. Problems associated ...
Assessment of bulk segregant analysis and marker- assisted selection for economically important traits in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS138
(1998)
The main aim of this project was to assess the feasibility of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and marker-assisted selection for important traits in sugarcane. The target trait for this feasibility study was rust resistance. ...
Maintaining access to foreign germplasm by developing methods to detect unidentified viruses in sugarcane in quarantine : SRDC final report BS116S
(1998)
Four types of gneeric tests for detecting unidentified viruses in plants were trialed for their suitability for sugarcane. The tests were; double stranded RNA (dsRNA) analysis, sap inoculation of indicator plants, sap ...
