The promotion and delay of flowering
(1979)Several aspects of promoted flowering and delayed flowering were examined in small experiments at Meringa. These have application in the controlled flowering of parent varieties to facilitate a greater range of parent ... -
The inheritance of ash in juice from sugar cane
(1983)Ash per cent juice data were obtained for varieties within 97 crosses in original seedlings in 1979 and for varieties within 86 crosses from three factorial polycrosses in 1981, on the Bundaberg Sugar Experiment Station. ... -
Biomass accumulation in sugarcane : final report 79/9028
(1984)Growth analysis experiments were conducted at Ayr and Bundaberg from 1979 to 1982 to study biomass accumulation in plant and ratoon crops of sugarcane. Crops were planted and ratooned in March, June, September and December, ... -
Regeneration of sugarcane plants from protoplasts and application of genetic transformation systems to sugarcane
(1986)Current gene transfer systems developed for modifying plants include direct gene transfer to protoplasts and Agrobacterium mediated gene transfer. These studies have important practical implications for application of ... -
The production of genetic constructs for expression of sugarcane mosaic virus coat protein in sugarcane protoplasts : SRDC final report BS9S
(1990)This project was one phase of research required for production of transgenic sugarcane. Through this project the sugar industry now has a synthetic resistance gene against SCMV that expresses in sugarcane plant cells. When ... -
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 ... -
Selection of superior crosses of sugarcane : SRDC final report BS6S
(1991)The impact of GxE interaction on the response to three methods of selection was assessed over three locations and three crop-years. The three selection methods considered were two previously used procedures, mass (individual) ... -
Regeneration of sugarcane plants from protoplasts
(1991)This study aimed to develop a protoplast regeneration system for sugarcane so that gene transfer techniques could be applied for cultivar improvement. Published techniques for embryogenic callus culture, cell suspension ... -
Optimum plot shape for variety trials - effect of competition between varieties : Final report 39905083
(1991)Four plot shapes were compared using four replications of 60 clones. The shapes were 4-row long (4L), 4-row short (4S), 2-row long (2L) and 1-row long (1L). The standard length of 9.2m was used for long plots, short plots ... -
Molecular tagging of economically important genes and promoters in sugarcane
(1992)Project Objectives : The overall aim of this project was to develop techniques for the isolation of useful gene control sequences (promoters) in sugarcane. Early in the project we also undertook preliminary studies to lay ... -
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 ... -
High efficiency production of transgenic sugarcane plants
(1994)The efficiency of gene transfer into embryogenic callus of sugarcane has been increased tenfold by optimisation of particle bombardment conditions, and there is a corresponding increase in stable transformation frequencies. ... -
The production of transgenic sugarcane plants : SRDC final report BS44S
(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 ... -
Genotype X environment interaction and selection of sugarcane families for the Burdekin River irrigation area : SRDC final report BS57S
(1995)The arable lands being developed for sugarcane production in the Burdekin River Irrigation Area (BRIA) are on markedly different soil types and, as a consequence, may present environmental challenges different to those ...
