... The Indolines of the Poeae and Triticeae are economically important as they control seed hardness (endosperm texture) in wheat and other cereals. Here an in silico analysis of Indolines was performed at the nucleotide and protein levels across the Avena, Aegilops, Brachypodium, Hordeum, Oryza, Sorghum, Secale, and Triticum taxa. In addition, the Vromindolines from cv. Hayden oat were isolated, clo ...

Abstract:
... Macrophomina phaseolina is a soil-borne phytopathogenic fungus that causes charcoal rot in several plant species, including sorghum. We constructed a draft genome of M. phaseolina isolate BRIP 70780a from sorghum, using long-read native DNA from MinION sequencing, which was error-corrected using short-read Illumina MiSeq reads. The draft genome, consisting of 22 contigs with an N₅₀ of 4,257,441 bp ...
... BACKGROUND: Sorghum grain is rich in phenolic compounds and has the potential to be developed into functional beverages such as sorghum grain tea, in which the health benefits and flavour are the important quality attributes to be considered in tea product development. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of grain tea processing steps on the phenolic contents, antioxidant activity and aro ...

Abstract:
... The interest for sweet sorghum and sweet pearl millet use as potential feedstocks for bioethanol production has markedly increased in the last few years due to the high concentration in fermentable carbohydrates in their juice. The bottleneck of this production is the carbohydrate extraction process that needs to be optimized. The main objective of this study was therefore to determine the effect ...

Abstract:
... Sorghum sourdough made with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and fruit products are of interest in the preparation of a variety of fermented baked products. In this study, different levels (10, 20, and 30%) of sorghum sourdough were fermented by a blend of L. plantarum and L. brevis and various levels of dry nabag pulp powder (1, 3, 5, and 7%). Physicochemical properties of dough and bread as well as th ...

Abstract:
... Two varieties of grain sorghum, including Chuannuo (CN) and Luzhouhong (LZH), were attempted on heavy metal (HM−) contaminated farmland. HMs distribution in the harvested biomasses, including grain and stover (leaf + stalk), were analyzed. The mostly HM-accumulated part was anaerobically digested to check the biogas releasing performances, and the fates of HMs in digestion. Results indicated the b ...

Abstract:
... Sorghum is one of the most important crops worldwide. An accurate and efficient high-throughput phenotyping method for individual sorghum panicles is needed for assessing genetic diversity, variety selection, and yield estimation. High-resolution imagery acquired using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) provides a high-density 3D point cloud with color information. In this study, we developed a dete ...
... The feasibility of converting biomass into bio-oil and the effect of an alkaline treatment during biomass liquefaction was studied. Sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) was treated with NaOH concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 and 6.0 M. The experiments were conducted in a temperature range of 260–320 °C in N₂. The results showed that the alkaline treatment affected the product distribution of SSB liquefaction ...

Abstract:
... Chemical-free pretreatments are attracting increased interest because they generate less inhibitor in hydrolysates. In this study, pilot-scaled continuous hydrothermal (PCH) pretreatment followed by disk refining was evaluated and compared to laboratory-scale batch hot water (LHW) pretreatment. Bioenergy sorghum bagasse (BSB) was pretreated at 160–190 °C for 10 min with and without subsequent disk ...
... Recovered co-products from integrated biorefineries have the potential to improve overall process economics during the production of biofuels or other high value chemicals. Hemicelluloses are polysaccharides that can be recovered from several biorefinery processes and have wide ranging applications from producing food packaging materials or use as a food additive to boost nutritional value. A comm ...

Abstract:
... Sorghum mosaic virus (SrMV) is a virus that causes mosaic symptom on sugarcane worldwide. In recent years, SrMV is becoming the most predominant pathogen for sugarcane mosaic disease (SMD) in Guangxi province, the major sugarcane-growing region in China. To facilitate the detection of SrMV, high throughput and sensitive serology-based detection techniques were developed and compared with RT-PCR as ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Stalk lodging (breaking of agricultural plant stalks prior to harvest) is a multi-billion dollar a year problem. Stalk lodging occurs when bending moments induced by a combination of external loading (e.g. wind) and self-loading (e.g. the plant’s own weight) exceed the stalk bending strength of plant stems. Previous studies have investigated external loading and self-loading of plants ...
... Acetoin (3-hydroxy-2-butanone) is a four-carbon ketone–alcohol used in the food industry and is also a precursor to important industrial chemicals such as butanediols and butanols. It is used in the food industry for the production of several foods and beverages and in the cosmetic industry to confer a desirable aroma. Sugars produced by sugar beets and sweet sorghum were evaluated for microbial c ...
... Intensive evaluation of segregating populations for a pattern of drought stress in a target region is one of the best ways to select genotypes that mitigate adverse effect of drought. However, evaluation for yield and drought tolerance-related traits and genetic analysis using segregating populations under moisture stress is so far rare in Ethiopia. The present study was initiated to evaluate sorg ...

Abstract:
... Sorghum is one of the world’s major crops, expresses traits for resilience to climate change, and can be used for several purposes including food and clean fuels. Multiple-trait genomic prediction and selection models were implemented using genotyping-by-sequencing single nucleotide polymorphism markers and phenotypic data information. We demonstrated for the first time the efficiency genomic sele ...
... Sorghum in Australia is grown in water-limited environments of varying extent, generating substantial genotype × environment interactions (GEIs) for grain yield. Much of the yield variation and GEI results from variations in flowering time and tillering through their effects on canopy development. The confounding effects of flowering and tillering complicate the interpretation of breeding trials. ...
... Basal branching in grasses, or tillering, is an important trait determining both form and function of crops. Although similarities exist between eudicot and grass branching programs, one notable difference is that the tiller buds of grasses are covered by the subtending leaf, whereas eudicot buds are typically unconstrained. The current study shows that contact with the leaf sheath represses sorgh ...
... Pathogenesis related 10 (PR10) proteins are small, cytosolic proteins sharing a similar three-dimensional structure and diverse functions. The present study aimed to characterise in silico the PR10.1 protein from Saccharum arundinaceum (SaPR10.1), a wild relative of sugarcane. SaPR10.1 is a hydrophilic small acidic protein (17 kDa) that lacks the P-loop motif presumed to be involved in the RNase a ...

Abstract:
... Leaf chlorophyll concentration (LCC) is an important indicator of plant health, vigor, physiological status, productivity, and nutrient deficiencies. Hyperspectral spectroscopy at leaf level has been widely used to estimate LCC accurately and non-destructively. This study utilized leaf-level hyperspectral data with derivative calculus and machine learning to estimate LCC of sorghum. We calculated ...
