Evaluation of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) lines/cultivars under salinity stress using tolerance indices

Evaluation of yield of promising dual purpose grain- forage sorghum lines (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) using drought tolerance indices

To evaluate and select the promising lines of dual purpose grain-forage sorghum under drought stress conditions, a field experiment assplit plot arrangements in randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out atresearch field station of Seed and Plant Improvement Research Institute, Karaj, Iran, in 2014 and 2015 growing seasons. Irrigation levels (60 mm, 120 mm and 180 ...

Genetic engineering of grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L

PhD thesis Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), the fifth most important cereal crop in the world, is one of the most important staple crops in Africa and South Asia and represents the only viable food grain for many of the world’s most food insecure people. However, sorghum grain shares the typical nutritional deficiencies of cereal grains, a low content of several essential amino acids. There...

the sensitivity of grain sorghum (sorghum bicolor l.) developmental stages to salinity stress: an integrated approach

to understand the effects of salinity stress on four different growth stages of sorghum, a greenhouse experiment with 10 treatments, considering all possible combinations of salinity stress and salt- free periods was carried out. the four growth stages for stress application included: emergence until growing point differentiation, growing point differentiation until half bloom, half bloom until...

Molecular mapping of QTLs conferring stay-green in grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench).

Drought resistance is of enormous importance in crop production. The identification of genetic factors involved in plant response to drought stress provides a strong foundation for improving drought tolerance. Stay-green is a drought resistance trait in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) that gives plants resistance to premature senescence under severe soil moisture stress during the post-flow...

Modulation of kernel storage proteins in grain sorghum (<i>Sorghum bicolor</i> (L.) Moench)

Selection of plant growth-promoting bacteria in sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) under the effects of salinity

Background Sorghum, a grassy non-halophyte, it is both drought and salinity tolerant, and is considered a promising crop for semiarid regions. During the last 20 years, its culture has expanded in Brazilian production by 780%, reaching 1,928,970 tons in 2009 [1]. Salinization of the soil and lack of rain are increasing constraints in semiarid regions. They predominate in northeastern Brazil. Th...
