Fifty years ago, the C4 photosynthetic pathway was first characterized. In the subsequent
five decades, much has been learned about C4 plants, such that it is now possible to place …

Increasing global energy demands are leading towards the production of bio-alcohols from
food crops, subsequently posing detrimental consequences in terms of food insecurity …

Sorghum bicolor is a drought tolerant C4 grass used for the production of grain, forage,
sugar, and lignocellulosic biomass and a genetic model for C4 grasses due to its relatively …

Sorghum, recognized for its hardiness and adaptability, exhibits a dynamic nutritional profile
being rich in dietary fiber, protein, and essential mineral content. Sorghum's lipid content is …

Circadian clocks are endogenous timers that enable plants to synchronize biological
processes with daily and seasonal environmental conditions in order to allocate resources …

The established processes for measuring physiological and morphological traits
(phenotypes) of crops in outdoor test plots are labor intensive and error-prone. Low-cost …

Dissecting the genetic basis of complex traits is aided by frequent and nondestructive
measurements. Advances in range imaging technologies enable the rapid acquisition of …

For the past several decades, advances in plant development, physiology, cell biology, and
genetics have relied heavily on the model (or reference) plant Arabidopsis thaliana …

Data on irrigation patterns and trends at field-level detail across broad extents are vital for
assessing and managing limited water resources. Until recently, there has been a scarcity of …

Sorghum is an important C4 grass crop grown for grain, forage, sugar, and bioenergy
production. While tall, late flowering landraces are commonly grown in Africa, short early …
