Genome-Wide Characterization of the PaO Gene Family and Pyramiding Effects of Superior Haplotypes on Yield-Related Traits in Sorghum

Agronomy
The Pheophorbide a oxygenase (PaO) is a key enzyme in chlorophyll degradation and plays an important role in plant senescence. However, the PaO gene’s function in sorghum remains underexplored.

Exploiting sorghum genetic diversity for enhanced aluminum tolerance: Allele mining based on the Alt SB locus

Scientific Reports, 2018
Root damage due to aluminum (Al) toxicity restricts crop production on acidic soils, which are extensive in the tropics. The sorghum root Al-activated citrate transporter, SbMATE, underlies the Al tolerance locus, Alt SB , and increases grain yield under

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Effects of Wide–Narrow Row Spacing and Planting Density on Canopy Structure, Photosynthetic Performance, and Yield of Brewing Sorghum in Slightly Saline–Alkali Soils

Agronomy
Slightly saline–alkali soils represent an important but underutilized land resource in northern China, and optimizing planting patterns is essential for improving sorghum productivity under such marginal conditions.

Genomics of Sorghum

International Journal of Plant Genomics, 2008
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a subject of plant genomics research based on its importance as one of the world's leading cereal crops, a biofuels crop of high and growing importance, a progenitor of one of the world's most noxious weeds, and a botanical model for many tropical grasses with complex genomes. A rich history of genome analysis,

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Assessment of the influence of cytoplasmic effect on the biochemical composition of sorghum grain lines

Аграрная наука Евро-Северо-Востока
The study reports on an investigation of the biochemical composition (fat, fiber, starch, protein, nitrogen-free extracts (NFE), tannin) in the seeds of 7 CMS grain sorghum lines with different types of sterile cytoplasm (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, 9E) with the
