Drought Dominates Engineered Lipid Sink Effects on Sorghum Physiology and Carbon Allocation

Yuan Liu, Katerina Estera‐Molina, Megan Kan, Jordan Masterson, Christina E. Ramon, Andrew J. Curtright, Rounak Patra, Lauana de Oliveira Pereira, Ki Youl Park, Edgar B. Cahoon, Wendy H. Yang, Jennifer Pett-Ridge

This study examines how drought affects carbon allocation in oil-enhanced sorghum, showing that drought overrides engineered lipid sink effects on root carbon investment and soil carbon delivery.
