Sorghum seed development involves complex molecular processes, including tissue-specific gene expression and metabolite accumulation, which are critical for improving grain quality, yield, and climate resilience.
Researchers from Shijiazhuang, China identified and characterized seven PRE genes in sorghum, highlighting SbPRE4’s role in enhancing aphid resistance through jasmonic acid signaling.
The SorghumBase team is excited to announce the release of SorghumBase 8.0, an enhanced resource for sorghum genomics data, designed to support research and collaboration within the sorghum community.
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.
