Aroma is an important trait that can enhance the product value in several crops. Pandan-like fragrance resulting from accumulation of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2AP) is one of the pleasant aromas in food crops which is caused by null or missense mutations in betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (BADH2) gene. In addition, betaine aldehyde aehydrogenase 1 (BA...

Main conclusionThe findings of this study suggest that the selected five strains of Streptomyces spp. could be used for biological control of charcoal rot disease in sorghum.AbstractTwo strains each of Streptomyces albus (CAI-17 and KAI-27) and Streptomyces griseus (KAI-26 and MMA-32) and one strain of Streptomyces cavourensis (SAI-13) previously r...

This study aimed to describe the phytonutrients and antioxidant activity, protein content, in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD), protein fraction, and bioavailability of Fe and Zn in the grains of five sorghum landraces grown in Sudan. The results showed significant differences in all quality tests among the landraces. The Tetron landrace showed t...

Main conclusionThis study confirms a high level of metabolic resistance to the herbicide chlorsulfuron, inherited by a single dominant gene in a sorghum genotype (GL-1).AbstractChlorsulfuron, an acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibitor, effectively controls post-emergence grass and broadleaf weeds but is not registered for use in sorghum because of cr...

ObjectivesThe purpose of this data set is to capture the complete diurnal (i.e., daily) transcriptome of fully expanded third leaves from the C4 panacoid grasses sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), maize (Zea mays), and foxtail millet (Setaria italica) with RNA-seq transcriptome profiling. These data are the cornerstone of a larger project that examined the...
Sugarcane yellow leaf virus (SCYLV) is an aphid-transmitted virus for which Melanaphis sacchari is the main vector. Almost all sugarcane varieties grown in Florida are susceptible to SCYLV infection. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of SCYLV in accessions of Sorghum bicolor which is another natural host of this virus. Two field experim...

This study investigated the effects of the addition of micro- (Fe, Co, Ni, and Mo) and macro-(Sulfur) nutrients on mono-digestion of sorghum under mesophilic conditions. A continuous stirred-tank reactor was operated for more than 420 days under seven different experimental conditions. The experimental results showed poor performance for methane pr...
This book chapter intends to equip the readers with the basic understanding of what crop models are, answer the common questions which the crop-modelling community usually receives from the other research disciplines, and briefly describe the frequent model misuses which many times hamper broader usage of models in agriculture. We will briefly disc...
