Journal
Planta
Planta publishes timely, sound, and complete articles on all aspects of plant biology, which advances our knowledge and the state of the art.
In this topical collection, the journal highlights advances in sorghum, the fifth key crop among cereals. Understanding responses and tolerance strategies in sorghum would be helpful in diversifying the applications of this crop.

Robert Aiken
Dr. Aiken’s research goal is to contribute knowledge of factors regulating the crop transpiration fraction of the annual water budget and the transpiration efficiency of yield formation for water-limited cropping systems. The NWREC Crops Program maintains long-term cropping system studies to evaluate cropping intensity and tillage effects on water use, yield formation and critical soil properties. -
