Portillo Rodriguez, Ostilio Rolando (2013-05-01)The improved dry matter digestibility of the brown midrib (bmr) sorghum cultivars is attributed to constitutive deficiencies of the lignin biosynthesis pathways which results in lower lignin concentrations. The lower ...

Sabry, Ahmed Mohamed-Bashir (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Sorghum downy mildew (SDM) of maize is caused by the oomycete Peronosclerospora sorghi (Weston and Uppal) C. G. Shaw. The disease can cause devastating yield losses in maize (Zea mays L.). Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) ...
-
Felderhoff, Terry (2012-10-19)Recent initiatives for biofuel production have increased research and development of sweet sorghum. Currently, the initial major limitation to integrating sweet sorghum into existing production systems is the lack of sweet ...
-
Heraganahally Kapanigowda, Mohankumar (2012-07-16)There is an increasing need to improve crop water-use efficiency (WUE) (ratio of whole-plant biomass to cumulative transpiration) due to decreased water availability and increased food and energy demands throughout the ...
-
Aydin, Selahattin (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)In sorghum, a single recessive gene Wx conditions waxy endosperm type. While parental inbred lines and hybrids with waxy endosperm have been developed, there has been little to no adoption of these hybrids by producers, ...
-
Nzaramba, Magnifique Ndambe (2009-05-15)Understanding the influence of environment and correlation/relationships among traits is necessary in selection for crop quality improvement. Therefore, correlations among antioxidant activity (AOA), total phenolics (TP), ...
-
Corn, Rebecca Joann (2009-06-02)Exotic germplasm has potential to provide new alleles for disease and insect resistance. US maize (Zea mays L.) currently lacks genetic resistance to Aspergillus flavus, a fungal pathogen that produces aflatoxin in maize ...
-
Baring, Michael Robert (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Four F2:4 populations of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) resulting from the complex cross Tamrun 96 X Tx901639-3 X Sun Oleic 95R were grown in three disease nurseries over a 2 year period. Three separate selection techniques ...
-
Hernandez, Joan R. (2010-07-14)The potential of high digestible grain sorghum (HDGS) with a modified starch protein endosperm matrix to replace corn in ethanol production was investigated using dry grind simultaneous saccharification and fermentation ...
-
Kuhlman, Leslie Charles (2009-05-15)Sorghum has been improved by plant breeders for yield, biotic and abiotic stress resistance, as well as quality traits by using germplasm from within the species. Interspecific hybridization can greatly increase the amount ...
-
Brady, Jeffrey Alan (2009-05-15)The Ma5 and Ma6 maturity loci in sorghum contain genes interacting epistatically to block flowering until an appropriate daylength is met. Because sorghum is a crop of tropical origin, its critical daylength is close to ...

Yang, Shanshan; Murphy, Rebecca L.; Morishige, Daryl T.; Klein, Patricia E.; Rooney, William L.; Mullet, John E.; Foulkes, Nicholas S. (PloS One, 2014)
-
Bartek, Matthew Scott (2013-07-22)Recently designated as a bioenergy crop, Sorghum is rather unique as it can produce large quantities of cellulose or sugar which can be used to produce advanced biofuels or compounds. Sweet sorghum contains high levels ...
-
Gabriel, Krishnamoorthy (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)In sorghum, a predominantly self-pollinated crop, hybrid seed production relies exclusively on the cytoplasmic-genetic male sterility system. The system of hybrid development has caused sorghum breeding programs to develop ...
-
Park, Jinhyuk (2019-11-13)Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from any crop contain useful information that can tell its physiological status, and especially, herbivore-induced plant VOCs can be considered as an important phenome that can ...
-
Bartek, Matthew Scott (2012-02-14)Hybridization within Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench has been the primary means of creating genetic diversity needed for sorghum crop improvement. While significant variation exists within S. bicolor, there are several traits ...
-
Sias, Cynthia (2020-05-29)The potential for hybridization between cultivated species and their weedy relatives poses agronomic and environmental concerns. Sorghum bicolor (sorghum), one of the most widely cultivated crops in Texas, is a prime example ...
-
Mondal, Suchismita (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The synthesis of high molecular weight (HMW) glutenin, low molecular weight glutenin and gliadin proteins are controlled by nine major loci present in wheat chromosomes. The loci Glu A1, Glu B1, Glu D1 and Gli A1, Gli B1, ...
