The Center for Sorghum Improvement (CSI) is hosting a virtual seminar given by Seminar Sakiko. from the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences at Texas A&M AgriLife Research, on Tuesday, May 13 at 11 AM CT. The title of the talk is “Enhancing Biological Nitrification Inhibition activities in sorghum.”
The 18th annual International Biocuration Conference was held in Kansas City, Missouri, April 5-9. This event brought together biocurators, software developers and users of life sciences and clinical data to share their work, encourage collaboration, and highlight the essential curatorial efforts that support research and innovation across academia, government, and industry.
On March 29–30, 2025, the AG2PI Single Cell Workshop Organizing Committee and AgBioData Single Cell Biocuration Working Group co-hosted an in-person workshop dedicated to advancing agricultural single-cell genomics. The event brought together a dynamic group of researchers, bioinformaticians, and data curators at the forefront of plant and animal single-cell biology.
A study conducted by researchers from the University of the Basque Country and AN S. Coop. found that integrating the Vilomene sorghum cultivar with urease inhibitors improves nitrogen retention, reduces environmental impact, and enhances wheat yield and quality in crop rotations.
Domestication of Sorghum bicolor has led to drought-resistant traits, where a shorter stature and specific physiological mechanisms help conserve water and maintain grain yield under stress.
Sorghum, a climate-resilient crop traditionally used as a staple in Africa and Asia, is gaining attention as a promising ingredient in baked goods across the globe. Despite its widespread cultivation, particularly in drought-prone regions, sorghum remains underutilized in Western food systems—most of it relegated to animal feed. However, a growing body of research is changing that narrative.
