Survey for Intergeneric Pollen Tube Growth in Intergeneric Pollinations Utilizing the iap Allele in Sorghum bicolor
(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 ...
Chemical and Physical Properties of Breakfast Cereals and Snacks Made from Specialty Sorghums and Sorghum Bran Using Twin Screw Extruder
(2012-02-14)
Whole ground white, high tannin and black sorghum with and without additional high tannin sorghum bran were used in different proportions to develop ready to eat breakfast cereals and snacks. The effect of extrusion on the ...
Utilization of Sorghum in El Salvador: Grain, Flour and End-Product Quality
(2012-02-14)
There is limited information on the utilization of sorghum for human
consumption in El Salvador. Increased wheat prices have driven the baking
industry to seek alternative cereals for manufacturing of their products. ...
Sorghum Bran, Chestnut Wood Powder, and Chardonnay Grape Seed Flour Addition Effect on Lipid Oxidation and Color in Ground Beef Patties
(2012-02-14)
Natural, plant-based tannin antioxidants are capable of inhibiting lipid oxidation in ground beef and may be possible alternatives to industry synthetic and natural standards of BHA/BHT and rosemary extract, respectively.
Ground ...
Effect of Harvest Dates on Biomass Accumulation and Composition in Bioenergy Sorghum
(2012-02-14)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) has the potential to be used as a cellulosic feedstock for ethanol production due to its diversity and wide adaptation to many different climates. With a wide range of diversity, this crop could ...
Genetic and Environmental Effects on Phenolic Composition and Agronomic Performacne in Black Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) Hybrids
(2012-11-30)
A healthy diet requires a shift from the consumption of highly refined and processed foods with low nutritional value and towards whole grain food that have increased levels of antioxidants and phenolic compounds. Certain ...
Genetic Analysis of Stem Composition Variation in Sorghum Bicolor
(2012-10-19)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is the world's fifth most economically important cereal crop, grown worldwide as a source of food for both humans and livestock. Sorghum is a C4 grass that is well adapted to hot and ...
Wide Hybridization, Genomic, and Overwintering Characterization of High-Biomass Sorghum Spp. Feedstocks
(2012-10-19)
The federally mandated 36 billion gallons a year production goal for "advanced biofuels" by 2022 has created a demand for lignocellulosic feedstocks that are inexpensive to produce. The current lack of market development ...
Trait Correlation and Confirmation of QTLs for Rhizome Growth and Over-wintering in Sorghum
(2012-10-19)
A growing world population drives an ever-increasing need for food and energy. These challenges, along with depletion of water and fossil fuel resources, call for improvements in crop production systems and the cultivars ...
Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) Mapping of Transpiration Efficiency Related to Pre-flower Drought Tolerance in Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]
(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 ...
