An automated cane billet sampler for research trials : SRDC final report BS118S
(1998)
The Australian sugar industry invests millions of dollars annually on sugarcane breeding programs and associated research. Improved selection efficiency as a result of more accurate estimates of commercial cane sugar (ccs) ...
Exploiting Erianthus diversity to enhance sugarcane cultivars : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Introgression of Erianthus arundinaceus into the SRA sugarcane-breeding program has been a goal for researchers for many years. The Erianthus genome was finally accessible to sugarcane breeders with the identification in ...
Effect of neonicotinoid, pyrethroid and spirotetramat insecticides and a miticide on incidence and severity of Yellow Canopy Syndrome : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)
Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) is a condition affecting Australian sugarcane that can lead to yield losses in excess of 30% in severely affected crops. The causal agent of this condition is unknown. Insect pests are well ...
Enhancing the Plant breeding outcomes of sugarcane cytogenetic techniques : SRDC final report BSS339
(2011)
The first part of this project was to attend the annual Plant and Animal Genome XIX (PAG) conference held in San Diego, USA, from January 14-19, 2011, and to present a paper at the associated International Consortium of ...
Maximising the rate of parental improvement in the Australian Sugarcane Breeding Program : final report 2008/319
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Parental improvement is an integral and key component in commercial genetic improvement programs. Its importance has not been fully realised, and even ignored in SRA Sugarcane Breeding Programs around the world, partly due ...
New germplasm to develop more productive varieties with enhanced resistance to nematodes, pachymetra root rot and smut : final report 2011/344
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)
Sugarcane industries around the world were transformed in the early 1900s when Dutch plant breeders working in Indonesia, and Indian breeders, working independently, developed sugarcane varieties derived from the wild ...
Building strategic research capacity for the sugar industry aimed at overcoming physiological, biochemical and environmental constraints to cane growth, breeding and sucrose yield
(1999)
Using the CSIRO Controlled Environment Facility, the discrete effects on the rate and extent of sucrose accumulation in sugarcane of four significant environmental parameters (daily light integral, radiation levels, ...
Sugarcane smut variety screening in the Ord : final report WAA002
(2000)
A sugarcane smut screening trial was initiated in the Ord with planting in September 1999. Eighty-four cane varieties were rated for sugarcane smut susceptibility. Varieties included those introduced through SRDC project ...
Optimisation of the initial stages of the New South Wales selection program : SRDC final project report BS96S
(2002)
The main aim of this project was to obtain the basic information required to implement an efficient and effective breeding and selection program in NSW. However, the project suffered major difficulties that affected the ...
Construction of synthetic Fiji virus resistance genes for use in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS86S
(1998)
Fiji disease of sugarcane, caused by Fiji disease fijivirus (FDV), is one of the most important diseases affecting sugarcane in Australia. FDV is a member of the reovirus family and has a multipartite genome consisting ...
