Biological improvement is a sustainable approach for saline–alkali land amelioration and utilization. Echinochloa frumentacea (Roxb.) link salt-tolerant gramineous forage, which plays an important role in improving land. The Hetao Ningxia Plain located the upper–middle reaches of Yellow River with large area soil, where E. has potential applications Three experiments were conducted on Pingluo C...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a raw material that can be used as food, feed, bioenergy, and wine; it also gramineous crop with drought, salt, waterlogging, high temperature resistance. However, liquor-making sorghum faces the disadvantages of having narrow genetic basis, poor resources, few high-quality varieties. Ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) common alkylating agent react one or mor...

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is a polyphagous global pest with preference for gramineous crops such as corn, sorghum and pasture grasses. This species comprised of two morphologically identical but genetically distinct host strains known the corn rice strains, which can complicate management approaches. Two molecular markers are commonly used to differentiate between however, disco...
