Best linear unbiased prediction as a method for predicting cross potential : SRDC final report BS119S
(1999)Until recently, BSES breeders used an empirical formula to assess the breeding potential of a parent (Hogarth and Skinner, 1986). Although this method uses data from many sources, it needs to draw on data accumulated for ... -
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 -
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 ... -
Biomass accumulation in sugarcane : final report 79/9028
(1984)Growth analysis experiments were conducted at Ayr and Bundaberg from 1979 to 1982 to study biomass accumulation in plant and ratoon crops of sugarcane. Crops were planted and ratooned in March, June, September and December, ... -
Breeding clones with high early sugar content : SRDC final report BSS93
(2002)The project BSS25 ?Breeding of clones with high early sugar content? concluded that the potential for increasing CCS through breeding and selection was greatest early in the season. BSS25 commenced a recurrent selection ... -
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, ... -
Characterisation of proteinase inhibitors from canegrubs for possible application to genetically engineer pest-derived resistance into sugarcane : SRDC final report STU032
(2005)The primary objective of this research was to identify, isolate and clone a proteinase inhibitor from the haemolymph of a canegrub species with activity against the major midgut proteases of the source insect. The potential ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
Development and application of spatial analysis to improve precision in selection trials : SRDC final report BSS231
(2004)In the early stages of selection, a sugarcane breeder tests a large number of genotypes. As the amount of planting material for each genotype for testing is typically limited, selections are usually made on small, ... -
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 ... -
Development of techniques to study root systems of sugarcane : SRDC final report BS56S
(1993)The aim of this project, to develop quantitative, cost-effective techniques for assessing the size and extensiveness of root systems in sugarcane, has been achieved. The equipment purchased and subsequently modified, and ... -
Development of transformation cassettes for sugarcane : SRDC final report QT002
(2000)There are currently few gene regulation sequences (promoters/terminators) which have been shown to be effective in sugarcane. At present, the industry standard gene regulatory sequences used for genetic engineering of ... -
Duplication of photoperiodic initiation facility at BSES : SRDC Final report BSS218
(2000)Partnership-funded research by SRDC and BSES has resulted in excellent flowering being obtainable in populations of parental sugarcanes that flowered reluctantly, or never, under natural conditions at BSES Meringa. This ... -
Effect of far-red radiation on flowering of saccharum spp. hybrids
(1990)Many tropical sugarcane clones (Saccharum spp. hybrids) are unavailable for hybridization because of poor flowering. Methods are required to improve the flowering of such clones. This study was conducted to determine ... -
Effect of far-red radiation on flowering of Saccharum spp. Hybrids : SRDC final report BS1S
(1990)Many tropical sugarcane clones (Saccharum spp. hybr ids) are unavailable for hybridization because of poor flowering. Methods are required to improve the flowering of such clones. This study was conducted to determine ... -

(1990)Many tropical sugarcane clones (Saccharum spp. hybrids) are unavailable for hybridization because of poor flowering. Methods are required to improve the flowering of such clones. This study was conducted to determine whether ... -
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 ...
