Effect of Seed Priming on Early Development of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) and Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth
Striga hermonthica is an obligate, root parasite, that limits cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa. Successful control depends on eliminating its seed reserves in soil, thereby preventing parasitism. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of salinity on germination traits and seedling growth of sorghum (cultivar Wad Ahmed) and S. hermonthica. The experiments were conducted in...
متن کاملEffects of ethephon on growth and yield of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) at different growth stages
There is little information about the effects of ethephon ripening hormone on the yield of sweet sorghum in Thailand. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of ethephon hormone applied at different growth stages of three cultivars of sweet sorghum on its growth and yield. The experiment was conducted from December 2016 to May 2017 at a research plot of the Faculty of Agricultural Te...
متن کاملB-Glucans in the Caryopsis of Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench
Fluorescence microscopy was used to determine the l ocation of Bglucans in sorghum. Sections from three genetically different sorghum cultivars were st ained with Calcofluor or Congo Red , fluorochromes which have been reported to react with 13-glucans. Autofluorescence, indicative of ferulic acid in other cereals, was observed in untreated sections. When stained sections were treated with endo...
متن کاملEffect of plant growth hormones and abiotic stresses on germination, growth and phosphatase activities in Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench seeds
Phosphatases are widely found in plants having intracellular and extracellular activities. Phosphatases are believed to be important for phosphorous scavenging and remobilization in plants, but its role in adaptation to abiotic stresses and growth hormones at germination level has not been critically evaluated. To address this issue, the effect of ABA, GA3, NaCl and drought on germination, grow...
متن کاملEffect of condensed tannins from sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench) on in vitro starch digestibility and α-amylase activity
(Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench) on in vitro starch digestibility and α-amylase activity Authors: N.L. Mkandawire, R.C. Kaufman, S.R. Bean, C.L. Weller, D.S. Jackson, D.J. Rose Submitted to: Journal of Agricultural & Food Chemistry Recently, the effects of sorghum tannins on starch digestibility in humans have been of interest, since tanins may inhibit starch digestion and contribute to reducing g...
