Post-Transcriptional Control of Gene Expression in Plants
A contemporary quantity of this sequence (Signals and sign TransductionPathways in crops (K.

Technology transfer, such as that conducted by organizations such as Global 2000, is desperately needed to improve sorghum productivity in Africa. Also, Africa has 12% of the world’s population but consumes only 2% of the world’s fertilizer. The Republic of South Afiica benefits most from advanced seed activity, with lesser benefits in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, and Kenya, although many of these efforts are focused on maize. Hybrid sorghums were introduced into Sudan in 1983. The hybrid, Hageen Dura-1, in farmers’ fields yielded 50% more than the local cultivars.

3-1D). Symptoms include darkcolored oval-shaped lesions, the centers of which develop a gray mycelial growth consisting of fungal conidia and conidiophores. This disease is unknown in India, suggesting that Cercospora is not a pathogen of finger millet in that country (20). In Zambia, there has been mention of Gloeocercospora on finger millet, but apparently this disease causes little, if any, damage (J. Mulenga, personal communication). Tarspot This disease is caused by Phylluchora eleusines P.
