Sorghum is one of the staple crops for millions of people in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and
South Asia (SA). The future climate in these sorghum production regions is likely to have …

Main conclusion Some salt stress response mechanisms can translate into sorghum forage
yield and thus act as targets for genetic improvement. Abstract Sorghum is a drought-tolerant …

Summary Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, the fifth most important cereal worldwide, is a multi‐
use crop for feed, food, forage and fuel. To enhance the sorghum and other important crop …

Background Members of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor family perform
indispensable functions in various biological processes, such as plant growth, seed …

Wax accumulation on the sorghum surface plays an important role in drought tolerance by
preventing non-stomatal water loss. Thereby, the effect of post-flowering drought stress …

Background GRAS, an important family of transcription factors, have played pivotal roles in
regulating numerous intriguing biological processes in plant development and abiotic stress …

Sorghum has been recognized as a promising energy crop. The composition and structure
of lignin in the cell wall are important factors that affect the quality of plant biomass as a …

Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is a reliable and high-throughput technique for gene
expression studies, but its accuracy depends on the expression stability of reference genes …

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins, the space fillers or molecular shields, are the
hydrophilic protective proteins which play an important role during plant development and …

Rhizosphere microbiota play a pivotal role in promoting plant growth and defending against
pathogens, but their responses to abiotic environmental stress remain largely elusive. Here …
