High‐Throughput Screen of NPQ in Sorghum Shows Highly Polygenic Architecture of Photoprotection
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT Natural genetic variation in photosynthesis and photoprotection within crop germplasm represents an untapped resource for crop improvement. Sorghum bicolor (sorghum) is one of the world's most widely grown crops, yet the genetic basis of photoprotection in sorghum is not well understood.

Predicting the substrate specificity of a glycosyltransferase implicated in the production of phenolic volatiles in tomato fruit [PDF]
, 2011 The volatile compounds that constitute the fruit aroma of ripe tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) are often sequestered in glycosylated form. A homology-based screen was used to identify the gene SlUGT5, which is a member of UDP-glycosyltransferase 72 family ...

Cryo‐EM reveals an ensemble of cytochrome P450 reductase conformations in solution
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The eukaryotic electron transport system, mediated by cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR), plays a crucial role in driving myriads of reactions involved in the biosynthesis of physiologically active compounds (such as sterols, steroids, vitamins, and natural products), as well as in the metabolism of drugs, toxins, and carcinogens.

Host suitability of grain sorghum and sudangrass for Pratylenchus brachyurus
Arquivos do Instituto Biológico: Nowadays, the root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus brachyurus (Godfrey) is a major pest of soybean in Brazil, mainly in areas using double cropping with maize or cotton, which are suitable hosts for P. brachyurus. A great effort has been made to find cash

Sweet sorghum:agronomic practice for food, animal feed and fuel production in Sub-Saharan Africa [PDF]
, 2019 Sweet sorghum is a cereal that belongs to the species Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench. Although the crop is reportedly native to Africa, it is grown worldwide largely because it thrives well under wide rainfall regimes, varied day lengths, soil conditions and

Summer legumes following winter wheat boost soil nitrogen availability and corn yield
Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Efficient nitrogen (N) management is critical for improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and sustaining corn (Zea mays L.) yields. We evaluated summer cover crops planted after winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to quantify biomass, N content, soil N dynamics, and subsequent corn performance under rainfed conditions in eastern Nebraska ...
