Title: Discovery and utilization of sorghum genes (Ma5/Ma6)

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1080323
; ; ; ; ;

Methods and composition for the production of non-flowering or late flowering sorghum hybrid. For example, in certain aspects methods for use of molecular markers that constitute the Ma5/Ma6 pathway to modulate photoperiod sensitivity are described. The invention allows the production of plants having improved productivity and biomass generation.
