Mechanisms of Aphid Resistance in Sorghum: The Role of Leaf Structure and Flavonoid Biosynthesis

This study reveals that aphid resistance in sorghum is associated with specific leaf cell structures and the upregulation of flavonoid biosynthesis, with naringenin and genistein playing crucial roles in enhancing resistance.

Regulation of Sorghum Root Growth and Low Nitrogen Tolerance by L-Tryptophan

Tryptophan enhances sorghum root growth and tolerance to low nitrogen conditions by modulating IAA synthesis and carbon and nitrogen metabolism, suggesting its potential to improve crop resilience and yield.

Identification of SbGATA22 as a Negative Regulator of Dhurrin Biosynthesis in Sorghum

Rosati et al. identified SbGATA22 as a potential negative regulator of the dhurrin biosynthetic gene SbCYP79A1 in sorghum, providing preliminary insights into the molecular regulation of cyanogenic glucoside biosynthesis.
