Truong, Sandra Khavi (2017-02-01)The global population is increasing in size and economic affluence, and sustainable intensification of agriculture is necessary to meet projected fuel and food demands without increasing input of limited resources like ...
-
Yang, Shanshan (2014-07-10)Sorghum genotypes used for grain production in temperate regions are photoperiod insensitive, while energy sorghum is highly photoperiod sensitive and flowers late in long days, resulting in enhanced biomass accumulation. ...
-
Anderson Jr, Robert Taylor (2014-03-31)Sorghum bicolor is a subtropical grass grown throughout the world for human consumption, animal feed and for the growing biofuels industry. In this thesis I characterize sorghum stem growth and chemical composition, and ...

Mattison, Ashley Jean (2017-06-28)Crop production must increase by 70% by 2050 in order to meet the expected requirements for population growth. While previous research has resulted in genetic improvement of the grain output in major cereal crops such as ...
-
Casto, Anna Lynn (2019-03-19)Lignocellulosic biofuels are a promising source of renewable liquid fuel. Sorghum is a drought-resilient C4 grass that is grown for grain, forage, sugar, and biomass. It is a promising lignocellulosic biofuel feedstock ...
-
Pfeiffer, Brian Kevin (2017-12-04)Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is an important cereal crop for the semiarid regions of the world. The improvement of sorghum grain production and sorghum grain quality are essential for the future of the crop. This ...
-
Kebrom, Tesfamichael Hintsa (2009-05-15)Light is one of the environmental signals that regulate axillary shoot development. However, little is known about molecular and physiological mechanisms regulating the development of the axillary shoot in response to light ...
-
Oliver, Joel Andrew (2021-05-19)The old Western idiom “like watching grass grow” implies disinterest, apathy, and boredom. The historical etymology of this phrase is uninspired as grasses are one of the most important family of plants across the globe. ...
-
Gomez, Francisco Ernesto (2017-12-08)Mechanical characterization is an important and now frequently used tool for phenotyping plants for crop improvement, e.g. lodging resistance. Mechanics of materials and structures in response to various external stimuli ...
-
Chandler, Aglaia (2009-06-02)The real-time PCR assay method was used to quantify the RNA abundance of twenty-eight plastid genes in a range of tissues and developmental stages of Arabidopsis thaliana. Three groups of co-regulated genes were identified. ...
-
Herb, Dustin Walker (2014-08-22)Historically, crop based ethanol has predominantly been achieved in the United States through starch-based and sugar-based conversions. With corn being one of the leading food and feed crops in the United States, and ...
-
Browne, Daniel R (2018-11-26)The colony-forming green microalga Botryococcus braunii is mostly known for its ability to produce an abundance of liquid hydrocarbons. However, geochemical studies have found fossilized remains of the species in petroleum ...
