A Regional Comparison of Factors Affecting Global Sorghum Production: The Case of North America, Asia and Africa’s Sahel

open access: yesSustainability, 2019
Understanding the dynamics of food production is critical to improving food security. This is particularly important in regions that rely on subsistence agriculture with little adaptive capacity to climate change.

Sorghum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A collection of diverse germplasm is the foundation for the genetic improvement of crop plants. Sorghum is a versatile crop and a staple food for the poorest parts of Africa. It is a crop endowed with one of the highest genetic diversity. Worldwide, there are close to a quarter million sorghum accessions collected and maintained by national and ...

Deleterious mutations predicted in the sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) Maturity (Ma) and Dwarf (Dw) genes from whole-genome resequencing

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
In sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] the Maturity (Ma1, Ma2, Ma3, Ma4, Ma5, Ma6) and Dwarf (Dw1, Dw2, Dw3, Dw4) loci, encode genes controlling flowering time and plant height, respectively, which are critical for designing sorghum ideotypes for a ...

Linking Plant Metabolomics with Fungal Functional Dynamics Reveals a Noncanonical S‐R‐C Adaptive Trajectory

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Using field‐based holo‐omics, we demonstrate that developmental shifts in sorghum leaf metabolomes drive a noncanonical fungal succession from stress tolerators (S) through ruderals (R) to competitors (C). Antifungal metabolites in young leaves select for S strategists with expanded genomes, transient maltose pulses during flowering favor fast‐growing ...

Markets Mitigate Land‐Use Competition From Energy Crops and Increase Farm Revenues

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Meeting the US Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge target of 35 billion gal annually by 2050 will require an estimated 380 million–700 million dry tons of agricultural biomass feedstock. This study evaluates the implications of large‐scale biomass production for land use, crop production, and market outcomes under mature market ...

The promising variety-samples of bastard saffron (Carthamus Tinctorius l.) In the Saratov region

open access: yesЗерновое хозяйство России, 2019
The article presents the results of a long-term study of the bastard saffron variety samples (Carthamus tinctorius L.) in the FSBSI RRPtISM “Rossorgo”. In the Saratov region there are significant microzones with extremely dry conditions, but suitable for

Sugarcane mosaic and sorghum mosaic are caused by two different strains of Sugarcane mosaic virus in the Everglades Agricultural Area [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) infects sugarcane and other species in the family Poaceae. In the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) of south Florida, we detected SCMV in Columbus grass (Sorghum almum), maize (Zea mays), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), St ...

Examining the Impact of Row Planting on Labor Use for Sustainable Food Production Among Maize Farmers in Rural Ghana

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smallholder farmers are reverting to traditional production methods due to the high opportunity costs and unintended consequences of new technologies. This study focuses on row planting technology, which is labor‐intensive and slow without mechanized operations.

Comparison of Leaf Reflectance of Sorghum Plants Infested by Sugarcane Aphids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Sugarcane aphid, Melanaphis sacchari (Homiptera: Aphididae; Fig. 1A), is a significant pest to sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (Fig. 1B). Sorghum fields are regularly surveyed to detect pest infestation.
