Sorghum panicle de-graining is an experimental technique used to study grain size and assimilate availability. De-graining is used to artificially increase assimilate availability to the remaining grains by removing a portion of the panicle. Typically, researchers remove the top half of selected panicles at anthesis (flowering stage). This is done before significant grain development has occurred. … Read more
