Leaf Width and Whole-Plant Transpiration Efficiency in Sorghum
  • SorghumBase Team
  • 05 December 2022

In a large breeding program (701 sorghum lines), leaf width was correlated with plant-level transpiration efficiency and associated with 19 QTL, suggesting it could be a surrogate for transpiration efficiency.

Glutinous and Japonica Sorghum Analyzed for Gene Expression and Gene Regulatory Pathways Related to Starch Synthesis
  • SorghumBase Team
  • 09 November 2022

Ke et al. studied two varieties of sorghum, Liaonian3 (glutinous) and Liaoza10 (japonica) and identified genes associated with starch accumulation.

SbWRKY55’s Role in the Abscisic Acid (ABA) Signaling Pathway Regulates Sorghum’s Response to Salt Stress
  • SorghumBase Team
  • 03 November 2022

Song et al. examined the endogenic responses underlying mechanisms for WRKY55 regulation under salt stress tolerance.

Research Provides a Deeper Understanding of Salicylic Acid-Induced Anthracnose Resistance
  • SorghumBase Team
  • 25 October 2022

Researchers from Shandong University in China studied the effect of exogenous SA on resistance in SA sensitive and tolerant sorghum lines. Transcriptome analysis revealed that exposure to SA increases anthracnose resistance through the upregulation of the expression of immune-related genes and pathways.

Link Found Between GRF genes in Sorghum and Aphid Resistance
  • SorghumBase Team
  • 19 October 2022

Shi et al. studied eight GRF genes in the sorghum genome, identifying orthologs through phylogenetic analysis, and evaluating their structural functions and expression patterns under both normal and stressed conditions.

QTLs Identified for Sorghum Resistance to Illinois C. sublineola Pathotype
  • SorghumBase Team
  • 13 October 2022

Khanal et al. identified 47 markers associated with resistance to C. sublineola across all sorghum chromosomes except chromosome 8. Of these, 32 genes were selected as likely causal candidates due to their location near significant SNPs.
