Effects of pachymetra root rot and nematodes on some elite sugarcane clones in Australia
(ASSCT, 2016)
PACHYMETRA ROOT ROT and nematodes are the two most important soil-borne pathogens of sugarcane in Australia. An experiment was established in Yandaran, Queensland in grey forest soil with high Pachymetra spore counts (>100 ...
SmutBuster: accelerated breeding of smut-resistant sugarcane varieties : SRDC final report BSS325
(BSES, 2011)
Sugarcane smut is caused by the fungus, Ustilago scitaminea Syd., and is one of the most serious diseases of sugarcane. At the end of 1983, only the sugar industries of Australia and Fiji remained free from smut. Sugarcane ...
Plant resistance to canegrubs : SRDC final report BSS132
(BSES, 2002)
The project sought to determine the range and types of resistances to feeding by canegrubs in sugarcane clones and their wild relatives. Resistance was tested in both pot trials and field trials and the importance of ...
How do current ratings of sugarcane varieties for resistance to smut relate to natural infection
(ASSCT, 2018)
SUGARCANE SMUT, CAUSED by a fungus Sporisorium scitamineum, is an important
disease of sugarcane in Australia. Sugarcane smut can be managed effectively through
the propagation of resistant varieties. In Sugar Research ...
Whole-farm planning for management of varieties to maximise productivity and reduce losses from diseases : SRDC final report BSS294
(2009)
The appropriate selection of sugarcane varieties is critical for maximising profitability and sustainability for both growers and millers in the Australian sugarcane industry. Growers are faced with many complex decisions ...
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 ...
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 ...
Breeding clones with high early sugar content : SRDC final report BSS93
(2002)
The project BSS25 ?Breeding of clones with high early sugar content? concluded that the potential for increasing CCS through breeding and selection was greatest early in the season. BSS25 commenced a recurrent selection ...
Seasonal distribution of growth and sugar accumulation in sugarcane : SRDC project BS5S Final report
(1995)
At existing levels of cane yield, an extra unit of sugar content during May, June and July represented 47 6000 tonnes of sugar worth $13.3m at 1987 prices when this project was initiated. The situation now, with annual ...
Manual of procedures for the control of BSES Limited varieties: variety audit, DNA fingerprinting and plant breeder's rights
(2004)
Plant Breeders' Rights (PBR) is designed to protect industry investment in Plant breeding. Currently it protects the equity of growers and millers continuing to support plant improvement through the 'Service Fee'. However, ...
