Optimising transgene expression and stability for enhanced sugar yield and high-value sugar production in sugarcane

“SugarBooster”技术有可能支撑附加值甘蔗产业。更高的蔗糖产量是可持续出口盈利的关键，它使从甘蔗中开发可再生生物燃料变得更加可行。异麦芽糖对消费者的健康有好处，作为一种可再生的工业原料也很有吸引力。但目前它必须通过昂贵的发酵生产。工厂的高效生产将打开一个日益增长的世界市场。这一合作项目对于将这些突破性技术转化为可靠的商业实施，及时为澳大利亚获取受保护知识产权的经济利益至关重要。

'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.
