Question 1

What stresses does the review focus on for improving sorghum performance?

Accepted Answer

The review targets drought, salinity, cold, and low phosphate and nitrogen stresses, which commonly limit sorghum growth and yield in semi-arid regions.

Question 2

Which nutrient transporter families are highlighted in the document?

Accepted Answer

It highlights nutrient transporter family members including nitrate transporter (NRT), phosphate transporter (PHT), and sulphate transporter (SULTR) for improving low-nutrient stress tolerance.

Question 3

How does marker-assisted breeding contribute to sorghum improvement in this review?

Accepted Answer

By using identified molecular markers and characterized transporter traits, marker-assisted breeding aims to enhance sorghum tolerance and ultimately support higher grain yield under abiotic and low-nutrient conditions.
