Uncovering Novel Regulators of Flowering Time in Temperate-Adapted Sorghum Through Integrated Genomic and Transcriptomic Analyses

Researchers identified novel genetic regulators of flowering time in temperate-adapted, photoperiod-insensitive sorghum using expanded genome-wide and transcriptome-wide association analyses, revealing key roles for FT, MADS-box, and ageing pathway genes beyond the classical maturity loci.

Genotypic Regulation of Drought-Induced Cyanogenesis in Sorghum: Insights into Dhurrin Biosynthesis and Stress Adaptation Mechanisms

Katamreddy et al., revealed that drought-induced hydrogen cyanide (HCN) accumulation in sorghum is regulated by genotype-specific differences in dhurrin biosynthesis, membrane stability, and transcription factor networks, offering targets for developing safer, drought-tolerant forage varieties.
