Assessing the effects of climate change and political instability on sorghum production: Empirical evidence from Somalia

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2022
Climate change induces a devastating effect on agricultural production in Somalia leading to crop yield to decline including sorghum. To this end, this study aims to ascertain the long-term and casual impacts of climate change – rainfall and temperature –

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)

2014
Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) targeting immature embryo explants is a route to introduce transgenic alleles into the crop. The protocol requires maintenance of quality stock plants under greenhouse conditions for a constant supply of immature embryo explants.

Intercropping forage cactus and sorghum in a semi-arid environment improves biological efficiency and competitive ability through interspecific complementarity

, 2021
The intercropping systems of species adapted to conditions of water deficit, such as sorghum (Sorghum spp.) and forage cacti (Nopalea spp. and Opuntia spp.), can contribute to an improvement in the biomass yield of semi-arid agricultural areas.

Transgenic Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)

2000
Sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, is the fifth most important cereal in the world. It was domesticated from Sorghum bicolor subsp. arundinaceum in northeast Aftica, and is presently grown widely in semiarid areas of central and north Africa, India, China, and the Americas (Doggett 1988).

Responses of photosynthetic characteristics and dry matter formation in waxy sorghum to row ratio configurations in waxy sorghum-soybean intercropping systems

Field crops research (Print), 2021
In intercropping systems, microclimate environment, especially light environment induced by row ratio configurations, is crucial to crop productivity. However, little information is available on how waxy sorghum canopy light environment is affected by ...

Alpha amylase inhibitors in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)

Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 1993
Forty varieties of sorghum grown locally and four cereals were screened for inhibitory activity against human salivary amylase. Three varieties of sorghum (IS-22422, Nagi Monadi and Ngd Marnm) had maximum inhibitory activity of 124 units. Among the cereals rice had the lowest inhibitory activity.

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) as a potential source of bioactive substances and their biological properties

Critical reviews in food science and nutrition, 2020
Sorghum is the fifth cereal most produced in the world after wheat, rice, maize, and barley. In some regions, this crop is replacing maize, due to its high yield, resistance to drought and heat.

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]

1986
The major cereal crops in the world are wheat, rice, maize, barley and sorghum, in order of production. Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench formerly S. vulgare Pers. (2n = 20) is an important cereal grain for food and animal feed in the tropical, subtropical and temperate regions between latitudes 45°N and 45°S.
