The presence of lignin within biomass impedes the production of liquid fuels. Plants with altered lignin content and composition are more amenable to lignocellulosic conversion to ethanol and other biofuels but may be more susceptible to insect damage where lignin is an important resistance factor. However, reduced lignin lines of switchgrasses still retained insect resistance in prior studies....

The agro waste briquettes produced from sorghum panicle and pearl millet with corn starch as the binder varied proportions were compared other briquettes, elemental analysis of SP-PM was waste, palm kernel shell, soybean mango leaves, rice husk, spruce, coffee husk briquettes. TGA results leaf, baggase, almond banana pseudostem, pineapple stem root, low rank coal, bituminous cotton stalk, wheat...

Abstract. Suriani, Patandjengi B, Muis A, Junaid M, Mirsam H, Azrai M. 2023. Morpho-physiological and molecular characteristics of bacteria causing stalk rot disease on corn in Gorontalo, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 1749-1758. Stalk was observed Gorontalo with typical symptoms, such as soft the stalk, leaf wilting, plant death. This study aimed to characterize corn. Samples infected plants wer...

The present investigation was conducted at Giza Research Station, Egypt, to evaluate the mean performance of 30 sweet sorghum genotypes for stalk and juice yields during 2021 2022 summer seasons. experiment laid out as a randomized complete block design with three replicates. magnitude genetic variability estimated using broad sense heritability advance expressed percent grand mean. Also, clust...

To improve sorghum productivity, farmers need high-yielding cultivars. A field experiment was conducted in the 2020 cropping season to determine interaction effect of genotypes Adana and Antalya locations Turkey. Two lines plus three checks cultivars were evaluated at both The analysis variance showed highly significant (P≤0.01) differences among for all traits. analyzed result indicates that g...

rots in maize. High yielding cultivars, increased plant densities, and improvements in soil fertility are generally Stalk lodging in maize (Zea mays L.) causes yield losses estimated accepted to have also contributed to increased stalk to range from 5 to 20% annually worldwide. Selection for rind penetrometer resistance (RPR) has proven useful in enhancing germplasm lodging. for stalk strength,...
