Application of molecular markers to sugarcane breeding
(2006)
The CRC SIIB marker application research aims to develop and evaluate ways to apply DNA markers to Australian sugarcane breeding programs to improve breeding, selection and fast release of high performing cultivars. This ...
Selecting clones for better ratooning under wet harvesting conditions : SRDC final report CSR10S
(1997)
There were three broad aims of this project:
(i) To develop and evaluate a method for screening genetic material under conditions where there is (a) stool damage from harvesting machinery under wet conditions, and (b) ...
Provision of improved varieties and pathology services for the Ord Sugar Industry : final report CTA043
(2003)
This project was established to introduce and evaluate new sugarcane varieties into the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA), and to provide advice on pathology issues relating to the ORIA. Cultivars in the ORIA currently are ...
More crop per drop : SRDC final report BSS305
(2011)
Water stress is the major constraint to productivity in the Australian sugar industry, with an estimated cost of $260 million/annum (CSE014 Milestone Report 3.5). In 2003 and 2004, the losses exceeded $140 million in ...
Sugarcane for future climates : final report 2013/029
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)
Increasing costs of irrigation in irrigated production regions, and seasonal periods of water deficits in
rain-fed production regions are impacting greatly on profitability, sustainability, and expansion of
the Australian ...
Optimal plot size and replication for testing clones in early stages of selection : SRDC final report CSR017
(1998)
The aim of CSRO 17 was to identifY optimal plot design, replication and selection criteria for testing and selecting clones in small plots in early stages of selection in sugarcane breeding programs. Problems associated ...
Introgression of new genes from Saccharum officinarum
(SRDC, 2004)
Modern sugarcane cultivars are derived from two main ancestral species: Saccharum officinarum, which is the main source of high sucrose levels, and S. spontaneum. Only a small number of clones of either species have ever ...
Maximising whole-of-industry benefits from the Australian sugarcane improvement program through an optimal genetic evaluation system
(2007)
An optimal genetic evaluation system (GES) is the backbone of any breeding program because maximising genetic gains is primarily a matter of efficient selection. A GES provides information to breeders about which individuals ...
