Borrell et al. conducted research to explore how genetically modifying PIN genes in sorghum can affect mechanisms underpinning the stay-green drought adaptation phenotype.
Analysis of the ACP Gene Family in Sorghum Supports a Connection with Stress Tolerance
Ge et al. performed phylogenetic analysis of the sorghum ACP gene family and investigated the ACPs expression patterns under abiotic stresses.
AG2PI Grant, Proposals due January 6th
The Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI), funded by USDA NIFA, is accepting proposals for their larger, “coconut” grant.
Analysis of Serendipitously Observed Red Leaf Phenotype in Sorghum
Lv et al. fine mapped the red leaf gene and identified the metabolites that cause red leaf in sorghum providing a better understanding of the red leaf phenotype in natural sorghum populations.

The Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) is hosting a virtual workshop entitled “Sharing UAS based high throughput plant phenotyping data via public clouds” on November 18th from 1:00 – 3:00 EST.
Glutinous and Japonica Sorghum Analyzed for Gene Expression and Gene Regulatory Pathways Related to Starch Synthesis
Ke et al. studied two varieties of sorghum, Liaonian3 (glutinous) and Liaoza10 (japonica) and identified genes associated with starch accumulation.

The Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) is hosting a virtual field day entitled “Stakeholder Panel on Challenges in Ag G2P” on November 16th from 11:30 – 1:00 EST.
Sorghum & Millet Workshop at PAG30 on January 15, 2023
The Sorghum & Millet Workshop will take place on Sunday, January 15, 2023 in San Diego, CA during the 2023 Plant & Animal Genome Conference (PAG 30 ( January 13-18, 2023).
SbWRKY55’s Role in the Abscisic Acid (ABA) Signaling Pathway Regulates Sorghum’s Response to Salt Stress
Song et al. examined the endogenic responses underlying mechanisms for WRKY55 regulation under salt stress tolerance.
Research Provides a Deeper Understanding of Salicylic Acid-Induced Anthracnose Resistance
Researchers from Shandong University in China studied the effect of exogenous SA on resistance in SA sensitive and tolerant sorghum lines. Transcriptome analysis revealed that exposure to SA increases anthracnose resistance through the upregulation of the expression of immune-related genes and pathways.
