Canegrub resistant plants containing antimetabolic compounds : SRDC final report BSS163
Smith, GR; Nutt, KA; Allsopp, PG (BSES, 2000)Transgenic sugarcane plants engineered to express either the potato proteinase inhibitor II or the snowdrop lectin gene show increased antibiosis to larvae of Antitrogus consanguineus in pot-based glasshouse trials.Canegrubs ... -
Enhancement of the sensitivity of gene probes for viral diseases of sugarcane by the polymerase chain reaction : SRDC final report BS48S
Smith, GR; Leonard, GJ (BSES, 1994)The sensivity of gene probes for two important viral pathogens of sugarcane, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) and Fiji disease virus (FDV), has been significantly enhanced by a version of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). ... -
Identification of resistance mechanisms in sugarcane to infection by Pachymetra : SRDC final report BS79S
McGhie, TK; Maclean, D; Smith, GR; Croft, BJ (BSES, 1999)Project objectives- Develop techniques for studying the biochemical reactions of sugarcane to infection by Pachymetra.- Identify biochemical mechanisms of infection by Pachymetra.- Identify biochemical changes produced in ... -
The production and evaluation of gene probes for diagnosis of sugarcane mosaic virus and Fiji disease virus (Final report SRDC Project BS10S)
Smith, GR; Leonard, GJ (BSES, 1991)Specific and sensitive cDNA probes have been developed for detection of both FDV and SCMV in diseased sugarcane plants. Results from glasshouse evaluation indicate that FDV probes are not sensitive enough to be used for ...
