(Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench) on in vitro starch digestibility and α-amylase activity Authors: N.L. Mkandawire, R.C. Kaufman, S.R. Bean, C.L. Weller, D.S. Jackson, D.J. Rose Submitted to: Journal of Agricultural & Food Chemistry Recently, the effects of sorghum tannins on starch digestibility in humans have been of interest, since tanins may inhibit starch digestion and contribute to reducing g...

Correspondence among QTLs affecting height and/or flowering was investigated across the five races of sorghum, an interspecific sorghum F2 population, and 32 previously published sorghum, maize, rice, wheat, and barley populations revealing 185 QTLs or discrete mutants. Among nine QTLs mapped in the interspecific sorghum population (six affecting height and three affecting flowering), at least ...

Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a multiple-purpose crop which has been consumed as either food or feed and recently, industrially cultivated for liquid sugar and ethanol production. Biomass and carbohydrate composition of sweet sorghum are considered as important factors for industrial productions. Thus, in this study fresh stalk yield, total sugars, sucrose content and invert su...

Na SO induced regulation of some key morpho-physiological characteristics in Sorghum were 2 4 examined to investigate the effect of Na SO on germination and morphology of Sorghum that was conducted 2 4 at Botany Department University of Gujrat. The variety used in this experiment was SSG-77. Plants were subjected for 30 days to sand culture that were salinized with four salt levels [T (control)...

In transcriptome analysis, accurate annotation of each transcriptional unit and its expression profile is essential. A full-length cDNA (FL-cDNA) collection facilitates the refinement of transcriptional annotation, and accurate transcription start sites help to unravel transcriptional regulation. We constructed a normalized FL-cDNA library from eight growth stages of aerial tissues in Sorghum b...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is one of the globally important cereal crop after wheat, maize, rice and barley. Sorghum is a unique crop among the major cereals and the staple food and fodder crop of the world’s poor and most food-insecure populations, located primarily in the semi-arid tropics. Sorghum is grown on 43.81 million ha area in the world, producing about 65.42 million tonnes grain wi...

Sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, is the fifth most important cereal crop grown worldwide and the fourth in the United States. Greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), is a major insect pest of sorghum with several biotypes reported to date. Greenbug biotype I is currently the most prevalent and most virulent on sorghum plants. Breeding for resistance is an effective way to control greenbug...
