Sugarcane smut variety screening in the Ord : final report WAA002
(2000)A sugarcane smut screening trial was initiated in the Ord with planting in September 1999. Eighty-four cane varieties were rated for sugarcane smut susceptibility. Varieties included those introduced through SRDC project ... -
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 ... -
The role of root growth and activity in determining sugarcane productivity : SRDC final report CLW002 (previously CSS02 & CSS2S)
(1999)Research conducted in this project aimed to better understand the relationship between root and shoot growth, in areas such as how the size of the root system affects shoot growth, do particular root parameters have a ... -
Validation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in sugarcane ESTs as useful genetic markers : SRDC final report ICB010
(2004)Sugarcane is one of the most important field crops grown in the tropics and subtropics. It possesses a highly complex genome, with multiple copies of a single gene present. Breeding of improved cultivars of sugarcane is ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
Transformation of sugarcane using Agrobacterium tumefaciens : final report on CTA027
(2000)A method for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sugarcane tissues has been developed in this project. This method offers an alternative technique for the introduction of transgenes into sugarcane. In general, ... -
Development of transformation cassettes for sugarcane : SRDC final report QT002
(2000)There are currently few gene regulation sequences (promoters/terminators) which have been shown to be effective in sugarcane. At present, the industry standard gene regulatory sequences used for genetic engineering of ... -
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 ... -
Analysis of sugarcane productivity trends in the wet tropics at a district level : SRDC final report
(2001)This project provided an in-depth re-analysis of district level data for cane yield, sugar content, and sugar content per hectare for the mill districts of Mulgrave, Babinda, and Tully and an evaluation of the estimates ... -
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 ... -
Better frost tolerant varieties for NSW : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project
(2010)Frost damage to sugarcane crops affects about one third of the NSW cane -
Better targeting new cultivars : SRDC Grower Group Innovation Project
(2012)Aim: Better targeting of new cultivars for soiltypes/environments not covered by BSES. Conduct: Trials with advanced clones and other best bet’s were planted in 2009, 2010 & 2011 were planted in both the Mossman and Tableland ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Construction of synthetic Fiji virus resistance genes for use in sugarcane : SRDC final report BS86S
(1998)Fiji disease of sugarcane, caused by Fiji disease fijivirus (FDV), is one of the most important diseases affecting sugarcane in Australia. FDV is a member of the reovirus family and has a multipartite genome consisting ... -
AGR2008150 : Provision of research and development services for the Ord Sugarcane project
(2009)BSES has provided the research and extension services to the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA) sugar industry under a cooperative agreement with the WA Dept of Agriculture and Food since 2003. This contract was terminated ... -
AGR2008150 : Provision of research and development services for the Ord Sugarcane project
(2010)The requirements for year 2 of the contract for the delivery of research and development services to the Ord sugar project have been fully achieved. The harvest results from two second ratoon, two first ratoon and two plant ...
