(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)In some Central American countries, sorghum totally or partially replaces maize in the tortilla making process. Maize is preferred over sorghum despite sorghum yield advantage. The major constraint to increasing sorghum ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)A study was initiated in the spring of 1973 to evaluate the effectiveness of a cyclic gametic selection prodedure in Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench in extracting superior gametes from a random-mating population and the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Maize dwarf mosaic virus (MDMV) is one of the Potyviruses whose strain relationships have not been clearly defined. Many of the characteristics which have been traditionally used in the strain definitions are now known to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Five selected sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) lines, R473, Polygynaceous line (PGY), White seed mutant (WS), South Dakota line (Experimental 3-58) (SD), and Double haploid of 'Tx403' (DH) were studied for mode of ...
-
(2013-01-17)Fibrolytic enzymes and microbial inoculants have potential to improve the value of feedstuff and feedstock. An experiment was conducted to determine the nutritive value, ensiling characteristics, and in situ disappearance ...
-
(2023-02-15)Genomic prediction has shown to be an effective tool for plant and animal breeders, allowing for prediction of phenotypes and breeding values. For crops that have vast acres planted in the United States, such as maize, ...
-
(2020-07-01)Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is an important feed and food grain in semi-arid regions of the world. Recent food trends in the United States have made grain sorghum a food grain crop of interest to end-users and food ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)During a 4-year period, plant resistance in sorghum to Contarinia sorghicola was studied. Experiments were conducted (1) to determine the relative level of resistance to the sorghum midge possessed by selected lines ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)A laboratory technique utilizing a thermogradient plate was used to determine the effect of temperature extremes on germination of different Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench genotypes and the inheritance of base temperature. ...
-
(2023-01-06)Bioenergy sorghum has a high biomass yield potential, is drought resilient, has good nitrogen use efficiency, and has a root system that contributes to the accumulation of soil organic carbon. In this dissertation, field ...
-
(2022-12-01)Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.)] is a tropical grass that often suffers from structural failure (lodging) when subjected to mechanical loadings from wind, rain, and hail. During lodging, excessive lateral deflection occurs, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Performance and adaptation measurements were obtained for 88 F(,1) sorghum hybrids which were produced by selection from the cross (RT x 7000 x 77CS2), 22 low and 22 high base metabolic temperature (BMT) males and then ...
-
(2017-05-05)The Southern Great Plains has potential to produce bioenergy crops on a large scale. However, the potential environmental impact of large scale production of bioenergy crops on carbon, evapotranspiration (ET) and energy ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Changes in the proteins of sorghum, pearl millet and maize after processing into tortillas or acidic and alkaline to were studied. Protein solubility, molecular weight (MW) distribution and pepsin in vitro digestibility ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)An early and late maturing sorghum genotype, 60M and 90M respectively, were analyzed to determine the endogenous levels of IAA, ABA, and gibberelllns. Previous experiments had Indicated that the gibberellin, GA3, hastens ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Three coverted lines (SC0056, SC00599, and SC0170) from the sorghum conbersion program remained green and vigorous in the field at grain harvest time when "normal" sorghum types senesced and apparently ceased functioning ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench kernel fresh weight accumulation (FWA) and dry matter accumulation (DMA) were modeled in two experiments. Experiment I (1977, 1978) studied different endosperm types while Experiment II (1979, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Sorghum grain lots with various levels of resistance to sorghum grain mold (SGM) were evaluated for several loss parameters: kernel weight, kernel density, electrolyte leachate level, percentage germination, vigor, and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1967)A series of studies were conducted at the Federal Experiment Station, Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, to determine the characteristics of seed size and their effects on the growth, development and utilization of Sorghum bicolor ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Increased utilization of novel biomass sources for energy conversion schemes has become a significant portion of energy related research and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is often considered a viable potential ...
