为解决干旱和半干旱地区土壤水分管理问题，研究人员对美国半干旱南部高平原高粱（ Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench ）生产系统展开研究。发现添加堆肥能增加土壤含水量（SWC）和作物水分生产力（CWP），提升高粱产量，有助于提高水资源利用效率。

In the first of these three studies, published in the Plant Biotechnology Journal, the research team identified that mutations in the protein Sorghum bicolor brassinosteroid receptor, SbBRI1 ...
