Pokhrel, Pramod (2020-06-03)Energy canes (Saccharum spp. hybrid) and energy sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) have the potential to adapt in broader agroclimatic conditions and produce higher biomass yield. The first study was conducted to evaluate ...
-
Burks, Payne (2012-07-16)Sweet sorghum is a highly versatile C4 grass noted for its improved drought tolerance and water use efficiency relative to sugarcane. Sweet sorghum is well suited for ethanol production due to a rapid growth rate, high ...
-
Traore, Karim (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Genetic resource enhancement is the foundation of any good breeding program. Landraces from West Africa, interspecifics between Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima and improved lines from the West African Rice Development ...
-
Packer, Daniel Jacob (2009-05-15)An appropriate tester correctly identifies the relative performance of experimental lines while maximizing the differences between lines. Most sorghum breeding programs use elite inbred lines testers. Inbred line testers ...
-
Butcher, Justin (2012-02-14)Five separate field experiments were conducted across different environmental locations in Texas for the purpose of quantifying concentrations of different phytochemical groups (ascorbic acid, capsaicinoids, and flavonoids) ...
-
Anderson, Jason C. (2011-08-08)A phylogenetic tree based on ITS1, Adh1 and ndhF grouped the species of the genus Sorghum into one distinct monophyletic group, but including two sister lineages, one with x=5, the other with x=10 as basic chromosome ...
-
Mondal, Suchismita (2012-07-16)In wheat, cooler canopies have been associated with yield under high temperature stress. The objectives of this study were, i) to understand the role of leaf cuticular waxes as physiological adaptive mechanisms during ...

Mullet, John E.; Rooney, William L.; Klein, Patricia E.; Morishige, Daryl; Murphy, Rebecca; Brady, Jeff A. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2012-11-13)Methods and composition for the production of non-flowering or late flowering sorghum hybrid. For example, in certain aspects methods for use of molecular markers that constitute the Ma5/Ma6 pathway to modulate photoperiod ...
-
McLaughlin, Will (2012-02-14)Comprehensive analyses are conducted of the holistic farm production-harvesting-transporting-pre-refinery storage supply chain paradigm which represents the totality of important issues affecting the conversion facility ...
-
Li, Qing (2023-07-24)Like most crops, sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is susceptible to stem lodging, typically caused by mechanical forces associated with severe weather like high winds. However, in response to less severe mechanical ...
-
Franks, Cleve Douglas (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Five breeding populations were created by crossing elite U.S. sorghum parental lines (RTx430, RTx436, BTx631, BTx635, and Tx2903) with 'Sureño', a dual purpose grain mold resistant sorghum cultivar. Molecular markers ...
-
Da Ros Carvalho, Henrique (2019-06-04)Epicuticular waxes are hypothesized to enable plants to cope with drought. There is evidence that waxes alter the energy balance of plants through increase in reflectivity of solar radiation and through decrease in conductance ...
-
Noe, Montes Garcia; Noe, Montes Garcia (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Sorghum ergot, caused by Claviceps africana Frederickson, Mantle & de Milliano, is a disease that affects non-fertilized ovaries in sorghum male-sterile plants and infects hybrids if there is pollen sterility at flowering ...
-
Nakasagga, Shakirah (2021-07-26)There is need to sustainably meet the growing food demand of a predicted population of 9 billion by 2050. Perennial grain crops present an opportunity for increased genetic and ecosystem diversity, yields and other ecological ...
-
Mbulwe, Lloyd (2017-08-16)TThe sugarcane aphid (Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner)) is an established and problematic pest on sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in the United States. The virulent pest on sorghum was initially identified in Southeast ...
-
Mateo Moncada, Rafael Arturo (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is fifth among the major cereal crops in the world in terms of production area and total production. Grain sorghum can be successfully produced in a wide range of environments, its ...
-
Pugh, Nicholas Ace (2018-11-26)Plant breeders must improve the efficiency of their programs to meet the needs of a rising world population and a rapidly changing climate. Proximal and remote sensing technologies stand as an attractive option for breeders, ...
-
Ochs, Brett Allen (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Maize (Zea mays L.) is grown in a wide range of environments and altitudes worldwide. Maize has transitioned from open pollinated varieties to single cross hybrids over the last century. While maize production and genetic ...
