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 ... -
Effect of far-red radiation on flowering of Saccharum spp. hybrids : SRDC Final report BS1S
(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 ... -
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production: a physiological basis for crop response to water supply
(1999)Although sugar is produced in the some of the most humid regions of Australia, water remains a major limitation to production. Experience in other rainfed and irrigated production systems in Australia has shown that use ... -
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 ... -
Environmental stimuli for sugarcane suckering in the wet tropics : SRDC final report BSS221
(2003)The northern section of the industry has been in crisis for most of the years in the decade up to 2002 because of declining CCS. This decline has been due to increased extraneous matter levels due largely to increased ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation and re-structuring of regional selection programs to maximise efficiency and speed of cultivar release
(2002)Continual delivery of new cultivars is required to maintain resistance to existing and new pests and diseases, and to provide constant improvement in crop productivity, quality and profitability for an internationally ... -
Evaluation of methods of estimating breeding value of sugarcane parental clones : SRDC final report BS75S
(1996)BSES uses an empirically based index to assess the breeding potential of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) parents and this may take many years to provide reliable estimates. A rapid and efficient method of assessing the breeding ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Field assessment and further development of high-sucrose sugarcane: final report 2014/069
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)Sucrose accumulation is critically important in determining sugarcane productivity. Yet, improvement in sucrose content in sugarcane has been almost stagnant for decades in many sugarcane growing countries, including ... -
Field evaluation of selected introgression clones for their resistance to root-knot nematodes : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Sugarcane nematodes, root-knot (RKN) and root-lesion (RLN), cause an estimated loss of over $80 million per year to the Australian sugar industry. In particular, RKN is a major problem if sugarcane is planted in sandy soil. ... -
Field performance of transgenic sugarcane plants carrying genes for resistance to SCMV : final report BSS154
(2000)The field resistance of transgenic sugarcane plants to sugarcane mosaic potyvirus was successfully demonstrated, and a number of transgenic lines are available for consideration for agronomic evaluation. Some of the ...
