Sweet sorghum is a promising target for biofuel production. It is a C4 crop with low input
requirements and accumulates high levels of sugars in its stalks. However, large-scale …

Sorghum accumulates epi-cuticular wax (EW) in leaves, sheaths, and culms. EW reduces
the transpirational and nontranspirational (nonstomatal) water loss and protects the plant …

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a promising biomass crop with high yields of cellulose,
hemicellulose, and lignin. Sorghum biomass has emerged as an eco-friendly industrial …

Although spikelet-related traits such as size of anther, spikelet, style, and stigma are
associated with sexual reproduction in grasses, no QTLs have been reported in sorghum …

Key message A new epicuticular wax (bloom) locus has been identified and fine mapped to
the 207.89 kb genomic region on chromosome 1. A putative candidate gene, Sobic …

A study was conducted in 2011 and 2012 growing seasons to determine levels of heterosis
and identify parents for use in sorghum hybrid production in East Africa. A total of 36 pairs of …

The extensive use of fossil fuels and global climate change have raised ever-increasing
attention to sustainable development, global food security and the replacement of fossil fuels …

Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a promising crop for biofuel and forage
production, having strong resilience to multiple stresses and being capable of thriving on …

Sorghum is one of the most important cereal crops grown in arid/semi-arid regions of the
world. Despite its importance, sorghum production and productivity are constrained by the …

The present investigation was conducted to characterize 20 genotypes of sorghum
{Sorghum bicolor (L.) moench} on the basis of 33 morphological characters provided by …
