Pathways to exploiting enhanced photosynthetic efficiency for higher sucrose and biomass yield
(2011)
Australia has one of the highest commercial cane sugar (CCS) levels in the world but unfortunately CCS appears to have plateaud at about 14% of fresh cane weight over the past 20 years. Up to now in breeding programs, ...
Sugarcane compositional analysis to enable food safety assessment of modified varieties
(2013)
An important component of demonstrating that the products of GM sugarcane varieties are substantially equivalent to conventional varieties is whether the nutritional composition falls within the range of compositions that ...
Advancing yield, disease resistance and ratooning by exploiting new sources of genetic variability from wild relatives of sugarcane : phase 1
(2017)
This project was originally planned and designed for six years to allow collection of data over 2 or 3 ratoon crops. In this first phase of the project, all propagations and trials were well established and good quality ...
Better frost tolerant varieties for NSW : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project
(2010)
Frost damage to sugarcane crops affects about one third of the NSW cane
More crop per drop: development of water-efficient and drought tolerant sugarcane cultivars for irrigated and dryland farming
(2014)
Water limitation is a major production constraint for sugarcane in Australia. Despite its economic importance, there has been little effort in breeding for water stress (drought) tolerance and water use efficiency (WUE) ...
Better targeting new cultivars : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project
(2012)
Aim: Better targeting of new cultivars for soiltypes/environments not covered by BSES. Conduct: Trials with advanced clones and other best bet’s were planted in 2009, 2010 & 2011 were planted in both the Mossman and Tableland ...
Understanding the reproductive biology and ecology of sugarcane to manage the safe release of genetically modified cultivars
(2010)
This project set out to obtain basic and previously unavailable information on the ecology and sexual reproduction of sugarcane primarily so advances in sugarcane biotechnology can be utilised to the benefit of the Australian ...
