Article Abstract
CRY2 is the apoprotein of cryptochrome 2 and CRY2 cDNA has been cloned from Sorghum bicolor in this study. The results of sequence analysis shows that it contains a complete open reading frame encoding a predicted protein of 690 amino acids sharing 87% identity with the CRY2 of rice, but only 45.5% with that of Arabidopsis and 57% with that of tomato. The DNA sequence of sorghum CRY2 contains three introns and four exons. RT-PCR results show that CRY2 has been transcribed in root, leaf and mesocotyl in sorghum seedlings. CRY2 protein has been shown by Western blot analysis to be present in mesocotyl, leaf and root, and to be accumulated in the dark and to be degraded under blue light.

The objectives of this experiment were to evaluate the effects of forage sorghum silage harvest settings, combining cut height, onboard sorghum kernel processor (KP) technology, and ensiling duration, on berry processing score (BPS) and ruminal in situ starch disappearance at 7 h (isSD7). Three harvest settings were tested: a 20-cm cut height, with and without KP (Low+KP, Low-noKP), and a 120-cm cut height with KP (High+KP). A commercial sorghum field was divided into 9 squares, with 3 squares randomly selected as blocks.

Introduction: Sorghum is an important food and feed crop. Identifying sorghum seed varieties is crucial for ensuring seed quality, improving planting efficiency, and promoting sustainable agricultural development.
Methods: This study proposes a high-precision classification method based on the fusion of RGB images and hyperspectral data, using an improved deep residual convolutional neural network.

However, in the absence of a well-organized formal seed system, public research institutions have continued to promote and disseminate improved sorghum varieties to encourage adoption. On the other hand, the lack of evidence on smallholder farmers' demand for improved varieties has discouraged the seed industry from investing in marginalized crops, like sorghum, in contrast to more commercialized crops such as wheat and maize.
