Breeding clones with high early sugar content : SRDC final report BSS93
Cox, MC (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 ... -
Field performance of transgenic sugarcane plants carrying genes for resistance to SCMV : final report BSS154
Smith, GR; Taylor, GO; Harding, RM; Stringer, JK; Cox, MC; Yoyce, PA (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 ... -
Manual of procedures for the control of BSES Limited varieties: variety audit, DNA fingerprinting and plant breeder's rights
Cox, MC (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, ... -
Maximising whole-of-industry benefits from the Australian sugarcane improvement program through an optimal genetic evaluation system
Wei, X; Stringer, J; Jackson, P; Cox, MC (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 ... -
Optimum family felection for net merit grade : stage 2 trials BS45S
Cox, MC (1996)Mass selection of individuals in seedling or early clonal stage trials is routinely used in most sugarcane improvement programs throughout the world. It is, however, inefficient as the Heritability of cane yield on a ... -
Seasonal distribution of growth and sugar accumulation in sugarcane : SRDC project BS5S Final report
Cox, MC (1995)At existing levels of cane yield, an extra unit of sugar content during May, June and July represented 47 6000 tonnes of sugar worth $13.3m at 1987 prices when this project was initiated. The situation now, with annual ... -
Whole-farm planning for management of varieties to maximise productivity and reduce losses from diseases : SRDC final report BSS294
Croft, BJ; Cox, MC; Millard, D; Burrows, A (2009)The appropriate selection of sugarcane varieties is critical for maximising profitability and sustainability for both growers and millers in the Australian sugarcane industry. Growers are faced with many complex decisions ...
