The use of alkaline salt lands for crop production is hindered by a scarcity knowledge and breeding efforts plant tolerance. Through genome association analysis sorghum, naturally high-alkaline-tolerant crop, we detected major locus, Alkaline Tolerance 1 (AT1), specifically related to alkaline-salinity sensitivity. An at1 allele with carboxyl-terminal truncation increased sensitivity, whereas knockout AT1 tolerance alkalinity in millet, rice, maize. encodes an atypical G protein γ subunit...
Sorghum, the fifth largest cereal crop, has high value as a staple food and raw material for liquor vinegar brewing. Due to its biomass quality, it is also used second most planted silage resource. No fragrant sorghums are currently on market. Through CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of SbBADH2, we obtained sorghum lines with extraordinary aromatic smell in both seeds leaves. Animal feeding experiments showed that leaves were attractable. We believe this advantage will produce great market...
