Reducing the Australian sugar industry's genetic vulnerability to sugarcane smut : SRDC final report BSS256
(2007)Sugarcane smut was recorded for the first time in Australia in July 1998 in the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) and was identified in the Bundaberg/Isis, Central and Herbert regions of Queensland in 2006. Sugarcane smut ... -
Regeneration of sugarcane plants from protoplasts
(1991)This study aimed to develop a protoplast regeneration system for sugarcane so that gene transfer techniques could be applied for cultivar improvement. Published techniques for embryogenic callus culture, cell suspension ... -
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 ... -
Reviewing and extending knowledge of fibre quality assessment within the SRA breeding program to develop optimally adapted varieties for the Australian sugar industry
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)This project aimed to improve knowledge of the significance of fibre quality measurement data to improve its value for variety selection and to provide guidance on further research work to utilise fibre quality requirements ... -
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 ... -
Seasonal distribution of growth and sugar accumulation in sugarcane : SRDC project BS5S Final report
(1995)At existing levels of cane yield, an extra unit of sugar content during May, June and July represented 47 6000 tonnes of sugar worth $13.3m at 1987 prices when this project was initiated. The situation now, with annual ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Selecting clones for better ratooning under wet harvesting conditions : SRDC final report CSR10S
(1997)There were three broad aims of this project: (i) To develop and evaluate a method for screening genetic material under conditions where there is (a) stool damage from harvesting machinery under wet conditions, and (b) ... -
Selection of a non-sugarcane gene for control of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS95S
(1996)Four types of non-sugarcane genes were investigation for potential toxictiy to canegrubs. They were: toxins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt); plant proteinase inhibitors; plant lectins; and avidin. Each of ... -
Selection of superior crosses of sugarcane : SRDC final report BS6S
(1991)The impact of GxE interaction on the response to three methods of selection was assessed over three locations and three crop-years. The three selection methods considered were two previously used procedures, mass (individual) ... -
SRDC Research Project final report Increased CCS, cane yield and water use efficiency by exploiting interactions between genetics and management
(2009)In October 2003 delegates at an international workshop on sugarcane physiology funded by SRDC concluded that priority should be directed at a better understanding of traits responsible for high yield and high sucrose ... -
Starch accumulation in sugarcane in response to stress
(ASSCT, 2016)Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) is a new problem affecting the Australian sugar industry. It was first reported in 2012 and has increased in occurrence and spread from the initial reports in North Queensland to further south ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Sugarcane root systems for increased productivity; development and application of a root health assay : final report 2015/002
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)A better understanding of the sugarcane root system has the potential to improve productivity and overcome soil constraints. By adapting the digital methods that have been developed in other crops, we have developed a ... -
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 ... -
SUMO wrestling - understanding the molecular basis of drought tolerance in sugarcane : final report 2017/401
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)We report here that neither the plant growth hormone gibberellin (GA) signalling, nor SUMOylation post-translational mechanism, a well-known phenomenon triggered by several abiotic stresses, are involved in water stress-induced ... -
The environmental basis for clone by environment interaction : SRDC final report BSS76
(2004)This project attempted to identify environmental factors responsible for genotype-by-environment (GXE) interaction by monitoring environmental parameters and relating these to growth responses of test clones. It also sought ... -
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. ...
