Recent Research

Role of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Regulating Drought Tolerance Mechanisms in Sorghum

LncRNAs play a crucial role in regulating gene expression and enhancing drought tolerance in sorghum by modulating stress-related biochemical and physiological processes.

Comprehensive Characterization of Phospholipase A Genes in Sorghum bicolor: Insights into Growth, Defense, and Stress Response

This study identifies and characterizes 32 phospholipase A (PLA) genes in Sorghum bicolor, revealing their diverse roles in plant growth, defense, and stress response, with significant implications for improving sorghum production in semi-arid regions.

Distinct Regulatory Mechanisms and Novel Transcriptional Activities of the COMPASS-like Complex in Sorghum

This study identified and characterized the COMPASS-like complex in sorghum, revealing unique ASH2 gene duplications and novel transcriptional activation activity in RbBP5, suggesting distinct regulatory mechanisms for gene expression in sorghum compared to other plants.
