Response of near-isogenic sorghum lines, differing at the P locus for plant colour, to grain mould and head smut fungi
2013-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Leaves and stalks of many sorghum genotypes accumulate dark red or purple pigments upon wounding while some plants, called ?tan,? do not. Grains with unpigmented ?white? pericarps grown on tan plants are more desirable for food. The hypothesis tested was that pigments in plants protected grain against the panicle diseases grain mould and head smut. Near-isogenic tan or purple plant colour genotypes with white grai...
