Impact of Lsi1 Mutation on Lignin Accumulation and Composition in Sorghum: Implications for Bioenergy Crop Development

• 17 March 2025

Researchers showed that mutating the Lsi1 Si transporter in sorghum increases lignin content in mature plants, suggesting a compensatory response for reduced silica that could be useful in developing bioenergy crops with optimized lignin and lower Si content.

Regulatory Roles of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Cadmium Stress Response in Sweet Sorghum

• 10 March 2025

Researchers revealed that lncRNAs, particularly lncRNA 15962 and lncRNA 11558, play critical roles in regulating cell wall metabolism and Cd transporter gene expression, respectively, contributing to Cd stress responses in sweet sorghum.

Mutation in SbYR1 NLR Protein Enhances Disease Resistance but Suppresses Growth in Sorghum via Hormone and Flavonoid Regulation

• 02 March 2025

The sbyr1 mutant in sorghum, with a Thr4Met mutation in the SbYR1 NLR protein, enhances resistance to head smut disease while inhibiting growth by regulating hormone synthesis and flavonoid metabolism.
