The Evolution of Photoperiod-Insensitive Flowering in Sorghum, A Genomic Model for Panicoid Grasses
Of central importance in adapting plants of tropical origin to temperate cultivation has been selection of daylengthneutral
genotypes that flower early in the temperate summer and take full advantage of its long days. A ...
Sorghum: A Multipurpose Bioenergy Crop
Bioethanol and biodiesel produced from renewable energy sources are gaining
importance in light of volatile fossil fuel prices, depleting oil reserves, and increasing
greenhouse effects associated with the use of fossil ...

Penicillium citrinum VFI-51 as biocontrol agent to control charcoal rot of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
In our earlier investigation, a fungal isolate Penicillium citrinum VFI-51 and its secondary metabolite was
reported to have antagonistic potential against Botrytis cinerea, the causative agent of Botrytis gray
mold disease ...
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 ...
Biological nitrification inhibition in sorghum: the role of sorgoleone production
Background and aims Nitrification and denitrification
are the two most important processes that contribute to
greenhouse gas emission and inefficient use of nitrogen.
Suppressing soil nitrification through the release of ...
