High planting density induces the expression of GA3-oxidase in leaves and GA mediated stem elongation in bioenergy sorghum

Abstract The stems of bioenergy sorghum hybrids at harvest are > 4 m long, contain > 40 internodes and account for ~ 80% of harvested biomass. In this study, bioenergy sorghum hybrids were grown at four planting densities (~ 20,000 to 132,000 plants/ha) under field conditions for 60 days to in...
