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.
