The environmental basis for clone by environment interaction : SRDC final report BSS76
(2004)
This project attempted to identify environmental factors responsible for genotype-by-environment (GXE) interaction by monitoring environmental parameters and relating these to growth responses of test clones. It also sought ...
Seed dormancy and establishment: a critical gap in knowledge to support safe deployment of GM
(2015)
The development and adoption of new varieties is a major investment in the Australian sugar industry. There are several modern techniques now being introduced into sugarcane breeding, such as introgression of Erianthus and ...
Optimisation of experimental design and analysis for variety trials to maximise genetic gain : SRDC final report UQ023
(2001)
The analysis of field experimental data usually assumes independent observations. This method is often inappropriate if the data contain strong spatial trends. Methods of analysis (commonly used in cereal trials) which ...
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 ...
Maximising whole-of-industry benefits from the Australian sugarcane improvement program through an optimal genetic evaluation system
(2007)
An optimal genetic evaluation system (GES) is the backbone of any breeding program because maximising genetic gains is primarily a matter of efficient selection. A GES provides information to breeders about which individuals ...
Faster flowering - new opportunities for genetic improvement: final report 2012/024
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)
In sugarcane, flowering is essential to breeding but is not a pre-requisite for commercial production. Consequently, our knowledge of the processes that control flowering lags behind other crops where the seed is the ...
Genotype selection and management strategies for exploitation of responses to high planting densities : SRDC final report BS137S
(1999)
The objectives of this project were to: evaluate the potential for high density planting (close row spacings) to increase yields over a range of conditions; assess the genetic potential available to exploit higher planting ...
Field assessment and further development of high-sucrose sugarcane: final report 2014/069
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Sucrose accumulation is critically important in determining sugarcane productivity. Yet, improvement in sucrose content in sugarcane has been almost stagnant for decades in many sugarcane growing countries, including ...
Map-based chromosome and trait tagging in sugarcane using cytological and RFLP markers
(1999)
Sugarcane is a complex aneuploid, polyploid, interspecific hybrid. At the time that this project began, molecular mapping in sugarcane was in its infancy and was only being attempted in interspecific crosses or within the ...
