Australian component Genetic diversity within Sugarcane yellow leaf virus : ICSB final report 99-15
Borg, Z; Braithwaite, KS; Smith, GR (2001)Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV) is widespread in many sugarcane growing countries of the world. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of genomic variation in SCYLV isolates from various countries. Isolates ... -
Construction of synthetic Fiji virus resistance genes for use in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS86S
Smith, GR; Handley, JA; Dale, JL; Harding, RM (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 ... -
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 ... -
Maintaining access to foreign germplasm by developing methods to detect unidentified viruses in sugarcane in quarantine : SRDC final report BS116S
Braithwaite, KS; Smith, GR (1998)Four types of gneeric tests for detecting unidentified viruses in plants were trialed for their suitability for sugarcane. The tests were; double stranded RNA (dsRNA) analysis, sap inoculation of indicator plants, sap ... -
Meristem transformation for sugarcane genetic engineering : SRDC final report BSS209
Smith, GR; Lakshmanan, P; Elliott, AR; Grof, CPL (1999) -
Production and evaluation of SCMV resistant transgenic sugarcane pests derived from transformed callus : SRDC final report BS94S
Smith, GR; Joyce, PA (1997)We have successfully demonstrated that sugarcane can be genetically engineered for resistance to sugarcane mosaic virus, using the coat protein gene of the virus to mediate resistance. At present the frequency of plants ... -
Selection of a non-sugarcane gene for control of canegrubs : SRDC final report BS95S
Allsopp, PG; McGhie, TK; Shepherd, K; Smith, GR (1996)Four types of non-sugarcane genes were investigation for potential toxictiy to canegrubs. They were: toxins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt); plant proteinase inhibitors; plant lectins; and avidin. Each of ... -
The production of transgenic sugarcane plants : SRDC final report BS44S
Smith, GR (1994)Transgenic sugarcane plants, which expressed the coat protein of SCMV at a very low level, were produced by micoprojectile bombardment of sugarcane meristems. Transgenic plants expressing the luciferase (Luc) and B-glucuronidase ...
