Abstract
Sorgoleones are a group of long chain benzoquinones specifically exuded in large quantities by the root hairs of Sorghum spp. Sorgoleones inhibit electron transport of higher plants and can completely inhibit both photosynthesis and respiration in sensitive seedlings. However, research on sorgoleone has focused solely on African Sorghum spp., including S.bicolor and S. halepense. Australia, by contrast, has 17 native Sorghum species which have not yet been examined with respect to their photosynthetic system,root architecture or metabolism. Eighteen Sorghum species were assembled and evaluated for sorgoleone biosynthesis, with an emphasis on pathway flux and gene regulation.
