Sweet Sorghum: A Resilient Crop for Bioenergy and Forage in Arid Environments Through Osmotic Stress Adaptation

Scientists from Northwest A&F University in China studied how different concentrations of PEG affect sweet sorghum’s growth and stress response, revealing that the upregulation of genes involved in osmolyte biosynthesis, including sugars and amino acids, enhances the plant’s tolerance to water scarcity.
