Sorghum cold tolerance genes vary by growth stage, revealing trade-offs

Cold stress remains one of the most stubborn barriers standing between sorghum and the temperate farmland it could otherwise transform. A major new genetic study, published open access in Theoretical and Applied Genetics, has now mapped, at unprecedented resolution, how tolerance to low temperatures is wired into the sorghum genome across the entire life of […]
