Comparative analysis of sugar-biosynthesis proteins of sorghum stems and the investigation of their role in hyperosmotic stress tolerance
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is an important cereal crop currently explored as a potential bio-energy crop due to its stress tolerance and ability to ferment soluble sugars. Physiological studies on sorghum varieties have ... -
Deciphering the determinants of molecular physiological responses to drought and heat stress in sorghum lines contrasting in stress tolerance via a proteomics approach
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)Sorghum is an important crop in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The predicted rise in global temperatures will increase the probability of exposing sorghum to heat waves in combination with drought. Thus, production ...
