Terminal drought effect on sugar partitioning and metabolism is modulated by leaf stay-green and panicle size in the stem of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench)

Terminal drought effect on sugar partitioning and metabolism is modulated by leaf stay-green and panicle size in the stem of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench)

Abstract Background The benefits of leaf stay-green for maintaining grain filling in sorghum under drought was largely demonstrated. However, its role in the stability of a dual production (grain, stem sugar) in tall sweet sorghum remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to analyze the impact of a...
