Plants are exposed to increasingly severe drought events and roots play vital roles in
maintaining plant survival, growth, and reproduction. A large body of literature has …

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 …

Global increase in water scarcity is a serious problem for sustaining crop productivity. The
lack of water causes the degeneration of the photosynthetic apparatus, an imbalance in key …

Increasing incidences of combined drought and heat stress poses a serious threat to
production and productivity of crops in sub-Saharan Africa where 95% of crop production is …

This study aimed to find the effects of several mycorrhiza species on agronomic
characteristics and nutrient uptake of various sweet sorghum genotypes under the semi-arid …

Introduction Plant responses to drought stress are influenced by various factors, including
the lateral root angle (LRA), stomatal regulation, canopy temperature, transpiration rate and …

There is a gap in our understanding of grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] crop
production and soil resource (water and N) use in response to different crown root angles …

Drought decreases grain yield of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], and
understanding the mechanism (s) related to drought tolerance is critical for sustaining …

The genetic uniformity of monocultures extends belowground to the genetic controls over the
architectural configuration of the root system. We hypothesized this may encourage …

Historic breeding efforts in corn (Zea mays L.) have resulted in uniform, single-stalked
phenotypes with limited environmental plasticity potential. Therefore, plant density is a …
