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 ... -
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 ...
