Whole-farm planning for management of varieties to maximise productivity and reduce losses from diseases : SRDC final report BSS294
(2009)The appropriate selection of sugarcane varieties is critical for maximising profitability and sustainability for both growers and millers in the Australian sugarcane industry. Growers are faced with many complex decisions ... -
AGR2008150 : Provision of research and development services for the Ord Sugarcane project
(2009)BSES has provided the research and extension services to the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) sugar industry under a cooperative agreement with the WA Dept of Agriculture and Food since 2003. This contract was terminated ... -
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 ... -
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 -
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 ... -
AGR2008150 : Provision of research and development services for the Ord Sugarcane project
(2010)The requirements for year 2 of the contract for the delivery of research and development services to the Ord sugar project have been fully achieved. The harvest results from two second ratoon, two first ratoon and two plant ... -
More crop per drop : SRDC final report BSS305
(2011)Water stress is the major constraint to productivity in the Australian sugar industry, with an estimated cost of $260 million/annum (CSE014 Milestone Report 3.5). In 2003 and 2004, the losses exceeded $140 million in ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Climate ready sugarcane : traits for adaptation to high CO2 levels
(2014)Recent work in Brazil and Florida had shown strong responses of sugarcane to elevated CO2, even under well-watered conditions. These results were not expected from current understanding of leaf physiology, given that ... -
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) ... -
SaveN Cane : developing selection tools for N-efficient sugarcane
(2015)This project supports the sugar industry’s intensifying efforts to reduce its nitrogen (N) footprint that is caused by inefficient use of N fertiliser by the crop. The industry aims to minimise N pollution of coastal waters ... -
Seed dormancy and establishment: a critical gap in knowledge to support safe deployment of GM
(2015)The development and adoption of new varieties is a major investment in the Australian sugar industry. There are several modern techniques now being introduced into sugarcane breeding, such as introgression of Erianthus and ... -
Faster flowering - new opportunities for genetic improvement: final report 2012/024
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)In sugarcane, flowering is essential to breeding but is not a pre-requisite for commercial production. Consequently, our knowledge of the processes that control flowering lags behind other crops where the seed is the ... -
Investigation of lignin biosynthesis in sugarcane for improved lignocellulosic ethanol production: final report 2010/068
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2015)Second generation bioethanol is a renewable energy resource produced from lignocellulosic biomass with the potential to reduce reliance on oil-based energy. Sugarcane bagasse is an abundant source of lignocellulosic material ... -
Maximising genetic gain from family and within family selection : final report 011/343
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2016)The aim of this project is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of selection in progeny assessment trials (PATs). These improvements will result in increased rates of genetic gain and the release of more productive ... -
Assessment of new soft cane varieties : final report 2015/081
