Abstract excerpt
The identification of genetic factors underlying the complex responses of plants to drought stress provides a solid basis for improving drought resistance. The staygreen character in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a post-flowering drought resistance trait, which makes plants resistant to premature senescence under drought stress during the grainfilling stage. The objective of this study was to identify...
