Prospects for a genetic solution to the management of ratoon stunting disease : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(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 ...
Exploiting introgression for the development of productive and regionally adapted varieties for NSW : final report 2013/022
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)
This project aimed to explore sugar cane variety improvement opportunities available through introgression in relation to 2-year cropping, temperate cane growing conditions of NSW and frosting. It provided an opportunity ...
Genomic organisation of sugarcane cultivars revealed by chromosome-specific oligonucleotide probes : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(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. ...
Seed-based in vitro propagation to accelerate variety development : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(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 ...
