Optimising transgene expression and stability for enhanced sugar yield and high-value sugar production in sugarcane. 'SugarBooster' technology has the potential to underpin a value-added sugarcane industry. Higher sucrose yield is a key to sustainable export profitability, and it makes the development of renewable biofuels from sugarcane more feasible. Isomaltulose has established health benefits for consumers and it is also attractive as a renewable starting material for industry.

'SugarBooster' technology has the potential to underpin a value-added sugarcane industry. Higher sucrose yield is a key to sustainable export profitability, and it makes the development of renewable biofuels from sugarcane more feasible. Isomaltulose has established health benefits for consumers and it is also attractive as a renewable starting material for industry. But it must currently be produced by expensive fermentation. Efficient production in plants will open an increasing world market. This collaborative project is vital to bring these breakthrough technologies to reliable commercial implementation, in time to capture the economic benefits of the protected IP for Australia.Read moreRead less
