Invasion of sorghum in the Americas by a new sugarcane aphid (Melanaphis sacchari) superclone.

PLoS ONE, 2018
In the United States (US), the sugarcane aphid (SCA) Melanaphis sacchari (Zehnter) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) was introduced in the 1970s, however at that time it was only considered a pest of sugarcane. In 2013, a massive outbreak of M.

Key metabolites secreted by Chlorella vulgaris alleviate salt stress in soybean seedlings

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Chlorella vulgaris secretes exosome‐derived linolenic acid and inosine, which alleviate salt stress and enhance salt tolerance in soybean seedlings by activating stress‐responsive signaling networks. ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a major abiotic stress factor that reduces soybean production.

Root lodging is a physical stress that changes gene expression from sucrose accumulation to degradation in sorghum

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is used as a raw material for biofuels because it accumulates sugars at high levels in the stem. Lodging of sorghum occurs when the soil is wet and very high winds blow across the field.

Brachypodium SPEECHLESS2 Promoter Drives Expression of a Synthetic EPF to Reduce Stomatal Density in Sugarcane Without Pleiotropic Effects

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stomata are microscopic pores that regulate the exchange of CO2 and water vapour, making them a major target for engineering plants with improved intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE). Proof‐of‐concept studies have demonstrated the potential to increase iWUE by reducing stomatal density (SD) and stomatal conductance (gsw) by ubiquitously ...

WRKY Transcription Factors: Integral Regulators of Defence Responses to Biotic Stress in Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crops are continually challenged by biotic stresses, including fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens and insect pests, which cause substantial yield and quality losses worldwide. WRKY transcription factors constitute a plant‐specific and functionally diverse family that is central to immune regulation.

Progress in the Biological Testing of Sorghum Midge (Contarinia spp.)

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1958
Successful emergence of examples of Contarinia sp. and associated parasites has been obtained at Rothamsted Experimental Station from midge-infested heads of sorghum received from India (Mysore State) and West Africa (Ghana).Since typical pre-mating behaviour was observed on all of the few occasions when newly emerged males and females from the two ...

Effect of Long-Term Zeolite-Based Storage on Spore Density and Propagule Potential of Mycorrhizal in Sorghum Plants

Jurnal Ilmu Kehutanan
The research aimed to investigate the impact of storage duration (20 years versus less than one year) on the quantity of mycorrhizal spores and propagules within zeolite carrier media, using sorghum as the host plant.
