The Sorghum Photoperiod Sensitivity Gene , Ma , , Encodes a Phytochrome B '
The Ma, gene is one of six genes that regulate the photoperiodic sensitivity of flowering in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench). The masR mutation of this gene causes a phenotype that is similar to plants that are known to lack phytochrome B, and masR sorghum lacks a 123-kD phytochrome that predominates in light-grown plants and that is present in non-magR plants. A population segregating fo...

متن کاملNew sorghum and millet cultivar introduction in Sub-Saharan Africa: impacts and research agenda
In spite of substantial introduction of new sorghum and millet cultivars in semiarid SubSaharan Africa, there has been minimum aggregate impact on yields (FAO and ICRISAT, 1996: The World Sorghum Economies: Facts, Trends and Outlook. FAO, Rome, Italy and ICRISAT, Andhra Pradesh, India) in contrast with other crops, such as cotton and maize. Only where inorganic fertilizers and improved water re...
متن کاملSorghum and millet phenols and antioxidants
Sorghum is a good source of phenolic compounds with a variety of genetically dependent types and levels including phenolic acids, flavonoids, and condensed tannins. Most sorghums do not contain condensed tannins, but all contain phenolic acids. Pigmented sorghums contain unique anthocyanins that could be potential food colorants. Some sorghums have a prominent pigmented testa that contains cond...
