Estimates of breeding value of sugarcane clones and their impact on efficient parent management and cross pollination : SRDC final report STU060
(2010)
Sugarcane breeders in Australia use family trials from four regional programs to estimate breeding values of current parents. Genetic gain to the Australian sugarcane industry can be maximised through efficient parent ...
Regeneration of sugarcane plants from protoplasts and application of genetic transformation systems to sugarcane
(1986)
Current gene transfer systems developed for modifying plants include direct gene transfer to protoplasts and Agrobacterium mediated gene transfer. These studies have important practical implications for application of ...
Literature review of methods of improving the germination of sugarcane : SRDC final report BSS208
(2000)
Sugarcane is propagated from vegetative cuttings of the stalk (setts or billets). The cuttings can be planted by hand or through mechanical whole-stalk or billet planters. Billet planters have given variable results ...
High day temperature inhibition of sugarcane flowering : SRDC final report BSS158
(2000)
The objectives of this project was to determine the sensitivity of the floral initiation process in sugarcane to day temperatures exceeding 32?C.The objective was not achieved because no meristems were initiated in the ...
The inheritance of ash in juice from sugar cane
(1983)
Ash per cent juice data were obtained for varieties within 97 crosses in original seedlings in 1979 and for varieties within 86 crosses from three factorial polycrosses in 1981, on the Bundaberg Sugar Experiment Station. ...
Sugarcane for future climates : final report 2013/029
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Increasing costs of irrigation in irrigated production regions, and seasonal periods of water deficits in
rain-fed production regions are impacting greatly on profitability, sustainability, and expansion of
the Australian ...
Developing cytogenetic and molecular tools to improve selection for soil-borne pathogen resistance in wild hybrids : final report 2013/358
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
In Australia, sugarcane has been grown for more than 100 years now as a monoculture
without much fallow cropping. Consequently, the heavily cultivated areas had no chance
to reduce the levels of soil-borne pathogens. ...
The role of root growth and activity in determining sugarcane productivity : SRDC final report CLW002 (previously CSS02 & CSS2S)
(1999)
Research conducted in this project aimed to better understand the relationship between root and shoot growth, in areas such as how the size of the root system affects shoot growth, do particular root parameters have a ...
Development and testing of a SNP marker platform in sugarcane : final report 2012/025
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Marker assisted selection is being used in many industries to develop new and improved crops. This
project sought to develop a selection tool for the Australian sugarcane industry by developing a set
of DNA markers ...
Genotype X environment interaction and selection of sugarcane families for the Burdekin River irrigation area : SRDC final report BS57S
(1995)
The arable lands being developed for sugarcane production in the Burdekin River Irrigation Area (BRIA) are on markedly different soil types and, as a consequence, may present environmental challenges different to those ...
