Production and evaluation of SCMV resistant transgenic sugarcane pests derived from transformed callus : SRDC final report BS94S
(1997)
We have successfully demonstrated that sugarcane can be genetically engineered for resistance to sugarcane mosaic virus, using the coat protein gene of the virus to mediate resistance. At present the frequency of plants ...
Selection of superior crosses of sugarcane : SRDC final report BS6S
(1991)
The impact of GxE interaction on the response to three methods of selection was assessed over three locations and three crop-years. The three selection methods considered were two previously used procedures, mass (individual) ...
Regeneration of sugarcane plants from protoplasts
(1991)
This study aimed to develop a protoplast regeneration system for sugarcane so that gene transfer techniques could be applied for cultivar improvement. Published techniques for embryogenic callus culture, cell suspension ...
Evaluation of methods of estimating breeding value of sugarcane parental clones : SRDC final report BS75S
(1996)
BSES uses an empirically based index to assess the breeding potential of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) parents and this may take many years to provide reliable estimates. A rapid and efficient method of assessing the breeding ...
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 ...
Development of techniques to study root systems of sugarcane : SRDC final report BS56S
(1993)
The aim of this project, to develop quantitative, cost-effective techniques for assessing the size and extensiveness of root systems in sugarcane, has been achieved. The equipment purchased and subsequently modified, and ...
Molecular tagging of economically important genes and promoters in sugarcane
(1992)
Project Objectives : The overall aim of this project was to develop techniques for the isolation of useful gene control sequences (promoters) in sugarcane. Early in the project we also undertook preliminary studies to lay ...
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production: a physiological basis for crop response to water supply
(1999)
Although sugar is produced in the some of the most humid regions of Australia, water remains a major limitation to production. Experience in other rainfed and irrigated production systems in Australia has shown that use ...
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 ...
