Time-course alignment of the RNA-seq time points between sorghum genotypes. Duration of booting and grain development stages were according to the field observations for Rio and Della, and previous studies [12, 26, 45, 77]. The time points when the RNA-seq samples were collected are color-coded by genotypes and aligned to the developmental process of sorghum, with those samples related to stem sugar accumulation highlighted in the red broken box
