Comparison of Mitogenome Organellar Genome Architecture in Wild Lines and Cultivars Follows Domestication History
Researchers sequenced and compared organelle genomes of sorghum accessions to understand their evolution and domestication events.
GxExM Symposium, University of Florida, Gainesville, Nov. 6-7, 2023
The University of Florida and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Plant Success are collaboratively presenting a hybrid Genotype by Environment by Management (GxExM) symposium from November 6th to 7th.
Comparative Assessment of Sorghum and Maize Proteomes Under Drought Stress Reveals Differentially Expressed Proteins and Their Associated Pathways
Protein expression levels of maize and sorghum orthologs were compared in drought conditions. Phenylpropanoids, sucrose, melanin-related metabolites and indole acetic acid (auxin) were identified as underlying the greater water stress tolerance in sorghum.

Conserved Drought Responses and Gene Expression in Sorghum and Maize
A predictive model was developed to classify drought responsive genes in sorghum across development, genotype and stress severity. This sorghum trained model was applied to maize that detected a core set of drought-responsive genes across diverse sorghum and maize genotypes which are conserved and associated with abiotic stress response pathways.

Review of the Current Research and Future Avenues for Discovery into C4 Plants
Recent studies into the function of trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) in C4 plants warrant further research into the molecular mechanisms involved in Tre6P regulation of carbon partitioning and metabolism in these crops for increased grain yield and food production.
