In a series of three recent studies, a team led by CSIC researcher at CRAG Ana I. Caño-Delgado has made significant progress ...

In this study, the researchers analyzed transcriptome data from sorghum roots under phosphorus-deficient conditions and strigolactone (SL) treatment separately. The scientists identified two ABCG ...

Chinese scientists have uncovered two major genes responsible for sorghum's double-grain spikelet that dramatically enhance ...

The first big opportunity with male sterile hybrids is they don’t develop the grains, so you don’t have to worry about ...

As Nebraska farmers face high input costs and dry conditions, some are considering sorghum as a viable alternative to ...

And yet, says Kansas State University assistant agronomist Jane Lingenfelser, the state’s grain sorghum yielded an average 65 bushels per acre – 13 bushels higher than the previous year.

Sorghum is resistant to heat and drought, helps reduce soil erosion, improves soil health and conserves precious resources. With its dense and robust root structure, sorghum sequesters carbon ...

Chinese scientists have identified two key genes responsible for sorghum's resistance to Striga, a parasitic plant that causes significant crop losses. The breakthrough, which also highlights the ...

Sorghum is one of the plants susceptible to Striga infestation. Sorghum roots release SLs, a class of plant hormones that help recruit mycorrhizal fungi for nutrient uptake.
