📢 New publication 'Optimising the specific adaptation of #sorghum in variable water-limited environments in Australia' by Genevieve Durrington, Joseph Saddigh, Jason Brider, Erik van Oosterom, Graeme Hammer and Alex Wu in @insilicoplants.bsky.social 🧪
#Sorghum could play a larger role in European livestock feed as the #climate changes. Models project higher yields in northern regions, while growing the crop once every three years could supply the equivalent of at least 90% of maize now used for feed. doi.org/rr7r #CropScience #Europe

Rainout shelter field study in #Kenya: Torturing #Sorghum to grow on horrible, nutrient-poor & compacted #soil under drought: it survives by selectively recruiting #mycorrhiza & adapting #rhizosphere strategies. What an expert under multiple stress! Congrats to Rozy Munene! tinyurl.com/44nkuujn
From bread to beer, sorghum is a versatile, gluten-free powerhouse. French farmers adopting it could revolutionize both agriculture and diets—proving that innovation can thrive under climate pressure. 🧵3/3

French farmers are experimenting with sorghum—a drought-tolerant, gluten-free cereal—as climate change reshapes agriculture. With gluten-free diets booming, this could be a smart, sustainable shift. 🧵1/3

Ejeta then helped develop sorghum resistant to Striga, a parasitic weed that can devastate African fields. His work joined genetics with agronomy and practical systems for farmers, improving yields and food security. In 2009, he received the World Food Prize. #sorghum #foodsecurity
🧬🌱 Using QTL mapping, a new study characterizes #Sorghum diploid and tetraploid interspecific families to understand how polyploid-derived chromosomes behave when returned to diploidy.
