A field experiment to evaluate the response of sugarcane varieties to waterlogging
Salter, B; Park, G; Kok, E (ASSCT, 2018)RECENT PRODUCTIVITY REVIEWS in the Herbert and Central regions identified strong negative correlations between excessive rainfall and productivity. Waterlogging has a significant effect on sugarcane productivity. It ... -
Effect of neonicotinoid, pyrethroid and spirotetramat insecticides and a miticide on incidence and severity of Yellow Canopy Syndrome : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Olsen, DJ; Ward, AL (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 ... -
Effect of Phytocercomonas venanatans, the causal agent of chlorotic streak, on yield of commercial sugarcane cultivars : ASSCT poster paper
Ngo, AN; Wickramasinghe, P; Bratihwaite, KS; Croft, BJ (ASSCT, 2019) -
Exploiting Erianthus diversity to enhance sugarcane cultivars : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Piperidis, N; Tom, C; Aitken, KS; Atkin, FC; Piperidis, G (ASSCT, 2019)Introgression of Erianthus arundinaceus into the SRA sugarcane-breeding program has been a goal for researchers for many years. The Erianthus genome was finally accessible to sugarcane breeders with the identification in ... -
Field evaluation of selected introgression clones for their resistance to root-knot nematodes : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Bhuiyan, SA; Piperidis, G; Hu, F; Parfitt, R; Garlick, K; Quinn, B; Jakins, A (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. ... -
Genomic organisation of sugarcane cultivars revealed by chromosome-specific oligonucleotide probes : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Piperidis, N; Piperidis, G; D’Hont, A (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. ... -
Marker-assisted selection for smut resistance : ASSCT poster paper
Sun, Y; Joyce, P; Deomano, E; Eglinton, J (ASSCT, 2019) -
Prospects for a genetic solution to the management of ratoon stunting disease : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Bhuiyan, SA; Eglinton, J; Magarey, RC (ASSCT, 2021)Ratoon stunting disease (RSD,) caused by a bacterium (Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli), is one of the most important diseases of sugarcane in Australia. RSD is an inconspicuous and highly infectious disease and can spread ... -
SaveN Cane : developing selection tools for N-efficient sugarcane
Schmidt, S; Lakshmanan, P; Cox, M; Robinson, N (2015)This project supports the sugar industry’s intensifying efforts to reduce its nitrogen (N) footprint that is caused by inefficient use of N fertiliser by the crop. The industry aims to minimise N pollution of coastal waters ... -
Seed-based in vitro propagation to accelerate variety development : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
Zhao, L; Bolton, C; Piperidis, G; Eglinton, J (ASSCT, 2021)To shorten the current lengthy selection process in sugarcane breeding and to accelerate genetic gain, Sugar Research Australia is implementing a range of novel breeding strategies and selection tactics. One strategy is ... -
Starch accumulation in sugarcane in response to stress
Joyce, P; Don, NH; Sousa, M; Olsen, D (ASSCT, 2016)Yellow Canopy Syndrome (YCS) is a new problem affecting the Australian sugar industry. It was first reported in 2012 and has increased in occurrence and spread from the initial reports in North Queensland to further south ... -
SUMO wrestling - understanding the molecular basis of drought tolerance in sugarcane : final report 2017/401
Garcia Tavares, R (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018)We report here that neither the plant growth hormone gibberellin (GA) signalling, nor SUMOylation post-translational mechanism, a well-known phenomenon triggered by several abiotic stresses, are involved in water stress-induced ... -
Unknown to known - Sclerotium rolfsii can cause severe germination failure and seedling death in sugarcane : ASSCT poster paper
Bhuiyan, SA; Wickramasinghe, P; Mudge, SR; Adhikari, P; Garlick, K (ASSCT, 2019)
