  • DISCOVERY AND UTILIZATION OF SORGHUM GENES (MA5/MA6)
    Publication number: 20160340684
    Abstract: Methods and composition for the production of non-flowering or late flowering sorghum hybrid. For example, in certain aspects methods for use of molecular markers that constitute the Ma5/Ma6 pathway to modulate photoperiod sensitivity are described. The invention allows the production of plants having improved productivity and biomass generation.
