Scientists with USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) are working on field trials and genetic studies that could one day double the yields of sorghum, which is one of the world's most important sources of food, animal feed and biofuel.
Compounds produced by sorghum plants to defend against insect feeding could be isolated, synthesized and used as a targeted, nontoxic insect deterrent, according to researchers at Penn State who studied plant-insect interactions that included field, greenhouse and laboratory components.
USDA-Agricultural Research Service (ARS) plant geneticist Robert Klein and the Crop Germplasm Research Unit in College Station, Texas, have developed newly converted tropical sorghum lines that will thrive in temperate climates and have the genetic potential for high grain yields in the U.S.
