Biolistic mediated sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) transformation via mannose and bialaphos based selection systems

Author: Grootboom, AW ; Mkhonza, NL ; O'Kennedy, Maretha M ; Chakauya, E ; Kunert, K ; Chikwamba, Rachel K Date: 2010 Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is recalcitrant to transformation and besides several reported cases of success, transformation is far from routine. The choice of the selectable markers is key factor influencing success and efficiency ... Read more
Co-suppression of synthesis of major x-kafirin sub-class together with y-kafirin-1 and y-kafirin-2 required for substantially improved protein digestibility in transgenic sorghum

Author: Grootboom, AW ; Mkhonza, NL ; Mbambo, Z ; O'Kennedy, Maretha M ; Da Silva, LS ; Taylor, J ; Taylor, JRN ; Chikwamba, Rachel K ; Mehlo, L Date: Jan 2014 Co-suppressing major kafirin sub-classes is fundamental to improved protein digestibility and nutritional value of sorghum. The improvement is linked to an irregularly invaginated phenotype of protein bodies. Read more
Detecting changes in the nutritional value and elemental composition of transgenic sorghum grain

Author: Ndimba, R ; Grootboom, AW ; Mehlo, L ; Mkhonza, NL ; Kossmann, J ; Barnabas, AD ; Mtshali, C ; Pineda-Vargasa, C Date: Sep 2015 We have previously demonstrated that poor digestibility in sorghum can be addressed by using RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress kafirin synthesis. The approach resulted in a twofold improvement in overall protein digestibility levels. In the ... Read more
