Maize and sorghum diverged approximately 15-20 million years ago and are considered closely related [ 18 ] . This is reflected by the degree of synteny between maize and sorghum [ 19 ] and the high degree of DNA sequence homology of coding regions between the two species [ 20 ] . In addition, brown midrib mutants exist in sorghum [ 21 ] , making a study on the relationship between cell wall composition of sorghum and flowering directly comparable to the maize study.
The content and composition of the cell wall polymer lignin is also altered in the sorghum bmr mutants [ 21 ] . The bmr6 mutation was shown to result in an accumulation of coniferaldehyde [ 22 ] and sinapaldehyde [ 23 ] and seems to be most similar to the maize bm1 mutant [ 24 ] . The bmr12 and bmr18 mutants are allelic [ 25 ] . These mutants have lignin with lower amounts of syringyl residues.
Sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.)
Furthermore, the incorporation specific bmr mutations in sorghum breeding programs may be of use for the manipulation of flowering time.
In this study the sorghum bmr mutants are compared to their wild-type counterparts in terms of their flowering dynamics.
