Sorghum bicolor, a drought tolerant cereal crop, is not only an important food source in the semi arid/arid regions but also a potential model for studying and gaining a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of drought and salt stress tolerance in cereals. In this study, seeds of a sweet sorghum variety, MN1618, were planted and grown on solid MS growth medium with or without 100mM N...

Regulatory sequences with endosperm specificity are essential for foreign gene expression in the desired tissue for both grain quality improvement and molecular pharming. In this study, promoters of seed storage α-kafirin genes coupled with signal sequence (ss) were isolated from Sorghum bicolor L. Moench genomic DNA by PCR. The α-kafirin promoter (α-kaf) contains endosperm specificity-determin...

Abstract Sorghum has been widely cultivated around the world. The plant a high survival rate to be grown in barren land and is reported positively correlated with health benefits, particular for being gluten-free. Recently, sorghum application food products increased significantly. This study aims investigate consumer acceptance of biscuits evaluate whether knowledge related will influence thei...

Sweet sorghum is a special purpose with sugar-rich stalk, almost like sugarcane. The objective of this work was to evaluate the phenotypic stability and adaptability sweet genotypes, in different Brazilian regions, for production bioethanol. Twenty-five genotypes were evaluated 10 environments distributed Southeast, Midwest, Northeast, Southern regions Brazil. experimental design randomized com...

Abstract Marginal land and geological disaster-prone in the Opak Fault zone area need to be studied for basic potential development of multi-purpose crops food, feed, renewable energy. The study was aimed determine soil evaluate suitability sweet sorghum ( Shorgum bicolor ) crop Gunung Kelir, Pleret District, Bantul, Yogyakarta as part line. A total 20 sample points were collected based on data...
