Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is offering their Frontiers and Techniques in Plant Science course from June 26 to July 17, 2025.
Regulatory Roles of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Cadmium Stress Response in Sweet Sorghum
Researchers revealed that lncRNAs, particularly lncRNA 15962 and lncRNA 11558, play critical roles in regulating cell wall metabolism and Cd transporter gene expression, respectively, contributing to Cd stress responses in sweet sorghum.
Proteomic Insights into Sorghum’s Adaptive Responses to Combined Drought and Heat Stress
Researchers investigated sorghum’s proteomic responses to combined drought and heat stress, identifying key differentially expressed proteins and molecular pathways that contribute to its resilience, with insights that may aid future crop improvement.
AG2PI Ag Single Cell Workshop Before AGBT-Ag Conference, Mar 29-31
AG2PI is hosting an Ag Single cell workshop March 29-31, immediately prior to the AGBT-Ag meeting in Orlando, Florida.
Mutation in SbYR1 NLR Protein Enhances Disease Resistance but Suppresses Growth in Sorghum via Hormone and Flavonoid Regulation
The sbyr1 mutant in sorghum, with a Thr4Met mutation in the SbYR1 NLR protein, enhances resistance to head smut disease while inhibiting growth by regulating hormone synthesis and flavonoid metabolism.
CSHL Statistical Analysis of Genome Scale Data Course, June 6-20, Applications due March 1
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is hosting the course, “Statistical Analysis of Genome Scale Data,” from June 6-20, 2025.
Engineering Sorghum with AdoMetase to Reduce Lignin and Enhance Biomass Conversion for Biofuel Production
Expressing AdoMetase in sorghum reduces lignin content and improves sugar release for biofuel production, though it also causes growth limitations and impacts other metabolic pathways.
Enhancing Sorghum Yield on Tropical Soils: The Crucial Role of Phosphate Efficiency and Root System Architecture
Tropical soils’ low phosphate availability and aluminum toxicity constrain sorghum cultivation, making P efficiency and root system architecture critical for enhancing grain yield in these challenging environments.
