Targeted Knockout of CYP79A1 Reduces Cyanogenic Potential in Grain Sorghum

- ABSTRACTUnderstanding how numerous heterotic quantitative trait loci (hQTL) shape heterosis and shifting from hQTL to candidate genes are central challenges. To address these challenges, we performed...

Assessment of relative soil moisture during fallow from Sentinel-1 and -2 to support crop management decisions for sorghum in Northeastern Australia

14/07/2026 - Informed decision-making ahead of planting is essential for minimizing sorghum production risk, particularly under increasing climate variability. Antecedent soil moisture status during the fallow...

Genetics of Flooding Tolerance in an F2 Miscanthus sacchariflorus ssp. lutarioriparius × M. sinensis Population

- An experiment to map flooding tolerance in Miscanthus ×giganteus was conducted. Two phenotyping protocols (A and B) and different pipelines to call SNPs were used. TASSEL?GBSv2 resulted in a genetic...

High?density mutation tracks are associated with proton?beam irradiation patterns in Sorghum bicolor

- AbstractInduced mutagenesis is a cornerstone of crop functional genomics, yet the extent to which distinct radiation sources reshape the spatial distribution of mutations remains difficult to...

Contrasting Carbon–Water–Energy Dynamics in Perennial and Annual Bioenergy Agroecosystems Using Eddy Covariance and Interpretable Machine Learning

- Environmental drivers regulate carbon, water, and energy fluxes differently in perennial and annual bioenergy agroecosystems. Long?term eddy covariance data and interpretable machine learning reveal...

Genomics for next?generation wheat breeding

- AbstractNucleotide?binding leucine?rich repeat (NLR) genes constitute one of the largest families of plant immune receptors and are central to crop disease resistance. Rice (Oryza sativa L.), maize...

Correction to “Genome?wide analysis of theAP2/ERF gene family in Rheum officinale Baill.: Evolution and expression profiling during plant development, abiotic stresses, and exogenous hormone responses”

Market-segmented target product profiles for realigning sorghum breeding, seed systems, and value chains in Eastern Sudan

- IntroductionSudan is a global center of sorghum origin and diversification, hosting extensive genetic diversity and strong culinary traditions. However, protracted conflict, climatic instability, and...

Pan?NLRome analysis uncovers genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics among rice, maize and sorghum

Assessing robustness and transferability of image?based semantic segmentation models for major field crops

- AbstractPlant breeding is essential for crop improvement, yet progress is often hindered by slow, laborious, and subjective field phenotyping methods. High?throughput phenotyping (HTP), particularly...

Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

- ABSTRACTSugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches,...

Exploring eco?evolutionary and temporal patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities colonizing Sorghum bicolor across sites of contrasting land use history and climate

- Sorghum bicolor is a globally important cereal crop with annual yields exceeding 50 million tons across more than 100 countries and can be grown on marginal lands where conventional agriculture is...

44. Livestock Response to Alternative Annual Forages Under Semi-arid Conditions

02/04/2026 - Producers operating in semi-arid and water-limited environments face increasing challenges due to fluctuating and unpredictable weather patterns. Irregular rainfall and rising temperatures have made...

Multisite Field Evaluation of Oil Accumulation and Agronomic Performance in Grain and Sweet Sorghums Engineered for Lipid Hyperaccumulation

- ABSTRACTOil sorghum (OS) has been developed by engineering grain (TX430) and sweet (Ramada) genetic backgrounds to accumulate triacylglycerols (TAG) in vegetative tissues as an energy?dense feedstock...

Unveiling the health?promoting potential of Sudanese sorghum landraces: A legacy rooted in Eastern Sudan, Kassala, and the Red Sea States

- Sorghum is a staple food for hundreds of millions of people in dry regions worldwide, and improving its nutritional quality is vital for global food and health security under climate change. In this...
