Provision of improved varieties and pathology services for the Ord Sugar Industry : final report CTA043
(2003)This project was established to introduce and evaluate new sugarcane varieties into the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA), and to provide advice on pathology issues relating to the ORIA. Cultivars in the ORIA currently are ... -
The transfer of high CCS traits from wild relatives to sugarcane using biochemical markers
(2003)Over the last 40 years of sugarcane breeding in Australia there have been significant improvements in cane yield but little to no improvement in commercial cane sugar (CCS). It has been hypothesised that this lack of gain ... -
Knowledge of sugarcane physiology and climate-crop-soil interactions : SRDC final report
(2003)Compared to other crops, knowledge of growth mechanisms in sugarcane is inadequate. The question arises as to how much longer can we continue to prosper from sugarcane if knowledge of the growth processes on which our ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
Validation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in sugarcane ESTs as useful genetic markers : SRDC final report ICB010
(2004)Sugarcane is one of the most important field crops grown in the tropics and subtropics. It possesses a highly complex genome, with multiple copies of a single gene present. Breeding of improved cultivars of sugarcane is ... -
Manual of procedures for the control of BSES Limited varieties: variety audit, DNA fingerprinting and plant breeder's rights
(2004)Plant Breeders' Rights (PBR) is designed to protect industry investment in Plant breeding. Currently it protects the equity of growers and millers continuing to support plant improvement through the 'Service Fee'. However, ... -
A sugarcane tissue culture system for mass propagation and transformation : SRDC final report BSS242
(2004)The core research strategy we conceived was to develop the initial observation of direct shoot regeneration in sugarcane leaf tissues to a generic and efficient plant production technology for sugarcane and probably for ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Application of molecular markers to sugarcane breeding
(2006)The CRC SIIB marker application research aims to develop and evaluate ways to apply DNA markers to Australian sugarcane breeding programs to improve breeding, selection and fast release of high performing cultivars. This ... -
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 ... -
Maximising whole-of-industry benefits from the Australian sugarcane improvement program through an optimal genetic evaluation system
(2007)An optimal genetic evaluation system (GES) is the backbone of any breeding program because maximising genetic gains is primarily a matter of efficient selection. A GES provides information to breeders about which individuals ... -
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 ...
