Association mapping of germinability and seedling vigor in sorghum under controlled low-temperature conditions
Sorghum is one of the world’s most important food, feed, and fiber crops as well as a potential feedstock
for lignocellulosic bioenergy. Early-season planting extends sorghum’s growing season and increases yield in
temperate ...
Influence of Maternal Season on Field Establishment of Sorghum Varieties Grown in Zimbabwe
Maternal season defined, as the prevailing environmental conditions during crop growth has been
known to influence not only grain yield but also seed quality. A laboratory and field experiment were
conducted in October ...
Overcoming Phosphorus Deficiency in West African Pearl Millet and Sorghum Production Systems: Promising Options for Crop Improvement
West Africa (WA) is among the most food insecure regions. Rapid human population
growth and stagnating crop yields greatly contribute to this fact. Poor soil fertility,
especially low plant available phosphorus (P) is ...

Analysis of genetic variation in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes with various agronomical traits using SPAR methods
Genetic variation among 45 genotypes of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) representing seven subpopulations was
assessed using three single primer amplification reaction (SPAR) methods viz., inter-simple sequence repeat
(ISSR), ...
Plant growth-promotion by Streptomyces spp. in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)
Seven strains of Streptomyces spp.: BCA-546 (KF770898), BCA-659 (KF770889), BCA-667 (KF770888),
BCA-689 (KF770899), BCA-698 (KF770900), CAI-133 (KF770895) and CAI-8 (KF770890), reported earlier
to produce biocontrol and ...
Heterosis and Inbreeding Depression in Tropical Sweet Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
An investigation carried out during two seasons viz., rainy 2009
and rainy 2010 to study heterosis and inbreeding depression of
four crosses of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
and their F2 have revealed positive ...

Characterization of potential probiotic bacteria isolated from sorghum and pearl millet of the semi-arid tropics
The present study was conducted to isolate and characterize probiotic properties of bacteria isolated
from flour and batter samples of sorghum and pearl millet. A total of five different selective media
including plate ...
Three FLOWERING LOCUS Tlike genes function as potential florigens and mediate photoperiod response in sorghum
Sorghum is a typical short-day (SD) plant and its use in grain or biomass production in temperate
regions depends on its flowering time control, but the underlying molecular mechanism
of floral transition in sorghum is ...
