The life of the sorghum plant begins when the seed imbibes water. This starts a chain of chemical reactions that drives the growth and development of the plant, culminating in a panicle containing ...

Last month’s column focused on the early life of the sorghum plant from emergence to the boot stage, or to put it in a human perspective from infancy through the teenage years. This article discusses ...

Sorghum crops in sub-Saharan Africa suffer heavy losses from the parasitic plant witchweed (Striga hermonthica). A new study shows how soil microbes can help protect sorghum from this pest and could ...
