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 ... -
Fine mapping of major rust resistance gene in cultivar R570 with a view towards it closing through map-bases chromosome walking
(1999)A major gene for rust resistance has been identified in cultivar R570 (Daugrois et ai, 19%). Rust disease is caused by the fungus Puccinia malenocephala Syd P. Syd and is distributed worldwide. Inheritance of resistance ... -
Functional genomics for enhanced sugar accumulation in sugarcane : final report CPI002
(2003)Improvement in CCS of sugarcane would provide considerable benefits to the whole sugar industry by improving profitability via enhanced efficiencies in both sugarcane and raw sugar production. Improvements in CCS bring ... -
Genetic control and genomic selection for important traits in sugarcane, and comparison of elite Indian and Australian germplasm : final report AISRF/48454
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019) -
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. ... -
Genotype selection and management strategies for exploitation of responses to high planting densities : SRDC final report BS137S
(1999)The objectives of this project were to: evaluate the potential for high density planting (close row spacings) to increase yields over a range of conditions; assess the genetic potential available to exploit higher planting ... -
Genotype X environment interaction and selection of sugarcane families for the Burdekin River irrigation area : SRDC final report BS57S
(1995)The arable lands being developed for sugarcane production in the Burdekin River Irrigation Area (BRIA) are on markedly different soil types and, as a consequence, may present environmental challenges different to those ... -
Genotype X environment interaction for clones and crosses planted in Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales : SRDC final report BS15S
(1997)The main aims of this project were to assess whether original seedling families produced for south Queensland would be suitable for the New South Wales sugar industry and to determine whether clones selected at the Bundaberg ... -
GxE interactions on ratooning of genotypes under trash blankets under cool/wet conditions : SRDC final report BS169S
(2000)This project was established to investigate the magnitude of the genotype by environment interaction effect for ratooning under a trash blanketing under cool/wet conditions. A population of 50 genotypes was deemed necessary ... -
High day temperature inhibition of sugarcane flowering : SRDC final report BSS158
(2000)The objectives of this project was to determine the sensitivity of the floral initiation process in sugarcane to day temperatures exceeding 32?C.The objective was not achieved because no meristems were initiated in the ... -
High efficiency production of transgenic sugarcane plants
(1994)The efficiency of gene transfer into embryogenic callus of sugarcane has been increased tenfold by optimisation of particle bombardment conditions, and there is a corresponding increase in stable transformation frequencies. ... -
Identification of canegrub-resistant transgenic sugarcane lines for commercial evaluation : SRDC final report BSS237
(2004)This project aimed to progress canegrub-resistant transgenic sugarcane to recommendations for field testing by negotiating IP and research agreements to allow commercial release of transgenic plants, determining the ... -
Improving the Plant breeding selection system for Fiji Disease Resistance : SRDC final report BSS255
(2005)Fiji leaf gall (FLG) has caused major epidemics in the Australian sugar industry in the past. All new cultivars of sugarcane released in areas affected by FLG should be resistant to the disease. New cultivars have been ... -
Introgression of new genes from Saccharum officinarum
(SRDC, 2004)Modern sugarcane cultivars are derived from two main ancestral species: Saccharum officinarum, which is the main source of high sucrose levels, and S. spontaneum. Only a small number of clones of either species have ever ... -
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 ...
