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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Components of resistance to sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata
Sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata is
one of the major constraints in sorghum production,
and host plant resistance is one of the components to
control sorghum shoot fly. Thirty sorghum genotypes
were evaluated for ...
Fermentation of Pretreated High-Biomass Sorghum Hydrolysates to Biohydrogen by Mixed Consortia
In the present study, hydrolysate generated
during pretreatment of high-biomass sorghum as a carbon
source for biohydrogen production was investigated. The
high-biomass sorghum bagasse (HBS) was pretreated using
acid (H2SO4) ...
Farmer Participatory Early-Generation Yield Testing of Sorghum in West Africa: Possibilities to Optimize Genetic Gains for Yield in Farmers’ Fields
The effectiveness of on-farm and/or on-station
early generation yield testing was examined to
maximize the genetic gains for sorghum yield
under smallholder famer production conditions
in West Africa. On-farm first-stage ...
Combining ability for grain mold resistance in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
In all sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) production systems, grain molds can reduce the yield and quality of short duration cultivars if they mature in wet and humid weather. This investigation was taken up to find out ...
No need to breed for enhanced colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve low-P adaptation of West African sorghums
Aims Western Africa (WA) sorghums are predominantly
cultivated under low plant available phosphorus (P)
soil conditions with a diverse population of arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) present. This study aims to
determine ...
