Exploiting introgression for the development of productive and regionally adapted varieties for NSW : final report 2013/022
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)This project aimed to explore sugar cane variety improvement opportunities available through introgression in relation to 2-year cropping, temperate cane growing conditions of NSW and frosting. It provided an opportunity ... -
Prospects for a genetic solution to the management of ratoon stunting disease : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)Ratoon stunting disease (RSD,) caused by a bacterium (Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli), is one of the most important diseases of sugarcane in Australia. RSD is an inconspicuous and highly infectious disease and can spread ... -
Genomic organisation of sugarcane cultivars revealed by chromosome-specific oligonucleotide probes : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is probably the crop with the most complex genome. Modern cultivars (2n=100-120) are derived from interspecific hybridization between the noble cane S. officinarum (2n=80) and the wild cane S. ... -
Seed-based in vitro propagation to accelerate variety development : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2021)To shorten the current lengthy selection process in sugarcane breeding and to accelerate genetic gain, Sugar Research Australia is implementing a range of novel breeding strategies and selection tactics. One strategy is ...
