F-box gene Sobic.005G172300 regulates ascorbic acid to boost plant defenses against Colletotrichum sublineola. Expression is upregulated in the resistant sorghum line SC110 shortly after infection.
Sorghum’s Response to Temperature Stress Varies with Genotype and Shifts Throughout the Day.
Sorghum accessions Macia (thermo-tolerant), SC224 (cold-tolerant), and RTx430 (heat-/cold-susceptible) respond to heat stress through gene regulation linked to the circadian clock. This linkage is stronger in the tolerant lines.
Unveiling Gene Expression Dynamics in Sorghum Accessions Upon SCA Infestation
Comparison of transcriptomes ofSCA-resistant line (SC265), SCA-susceptible line (SC1345) and an elite sorghum male parental line (RTx430) reveals differentially upregulated gene clusters.
A MAGIC Diversity Panel for Cytoplasmic Male Sterility Breeding of Grain Sorghum
A MAGIC population for high-resolution trait mapping in grain sorghum was developed using four genetically distinct founder lines and validated by mapping three highly heritable traits with DaRTseq.
Characterization and Functional Conservation of SbRPAP3 in the R2TP Complex
SbRPAP3, a subunit of the R2TP complex in Sorghum bicolor, bears a structural resemblance to yeast and human counterparts, and interacts with essential molecular chaperones, indicating functional conservation in plants.
Unlocking the Potential of Sorghum in Africa: Insights from Phosphorus-Responsive Root Systems
Africa’s high sorghum production and consumption, coupled with its low grain yield due to phosphorus deficiency in soil, could be improved by enhancing natural soil phosphorus utilization, as demonstrated by research on two sorghum genotypes in Ghana.
Identification of Mixed-linkage glucan Lichenases in Sorghum bicolor has Implications for Manipulating Digestibility and Nutritional Value
Three Sorghum lichenases (SbLCH1-3) were identified with expression varying in leaf development stages, impacting MLG accumulation.
Analysis of Sweet Sorghum’s Maintenance of Ion Homeostasis Under Salt Stress
Sweet sorghum effectively manages ion toxicity and maintains key nutrient balances under high salt stress through specific genes and transcription factors, stabilizing the plants during severe salt stress.
WRKY Transcription Factors SbWRKY22 and SbWRKY65 Regulate the Expression of Aluminum Resistance Genes in Sorghum
This pair of Al-stress-induced WRKY TFs are mainly expressed in the roots of sweet sorghum, where they regulate Al tolerance genes involved in citric acid secretion, callose degradation and cell wall modification.
A Dense Genetic Linkage Map and QTL Analysis for Bioenergy-Related Traits in Sweet Sorghum
Harnessing the potential of sweet sorghum as a biofuel crop, advanced genetic mapping with ddRAD-seq reveals ten significant bioenergy-related QTLs, offering a pathway for more effective bioenergy production.
