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 ...
Evaluation of methods of estimating breeding value of sugarcane parental clones : SRDC final report BS75S
(1996)
BSES uses an empirically based index to assess the breeding potential of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) parents and this may take many years to provide reliable estimates. A rapid and efficient method of assessing the breeding ...
Seasonal distribution of growth and sugar accumulation in sugarcane : SRDC project BS5S Final report
(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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Efficient use of water resources in sugar production: a physiological basis for crop response to water supply
(1999)
Although sugar is produced in the some of the most humid regions of Australia, water remains a major limitation to production. Experience in other rainfed and irrigated production systems in Australia has shown that use ...
Assessment of bulk segregant analysis and marker- assisted selection for economically important traits in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS138
(1998)
The main aim of this project was to assess the feasibility of bulk segregant analysis (BSA) and marker-assisted selection for important traits in sugarcane. The target trait for this feasibility study was rust resistance. ...
Maintaining access to foreign germplasm by developing methods to detect unidentified viruses in sugarcane in quarantine : SRDC final report BS116S
(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 ...
Genotype X environment interaction for clones and crosses planted in Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales : SRDC final report BS15S
(1997)
The main aims of this project were to assess whether original seedling families produced for south Queensland would be suitable for the New South Wales sugar industry and to determine whether clones selected at the Bundaberg ...
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 ...
