Sweet sorghum as biofuel feedstock: recent advances and available resources
Sweet sorghum is a promising target for biofuel production. It is a C4 crop with low input
requirements and accumulates high levels of sugars in its stalks. However, large-scale …

Parallel domestication of the Shattering1 genes in cereals
A key step during crop domestication is the loss of seed shattering. Here, we show that seed
shattering in sorghum is controlled by a single gene, Shattering1 (Sh1), which encodes a …
