This research paper investigates the molecular mechanisms governing sorghum seed development by analyzing spatiotemporal transcriptome and metabolome profiles during sorghum seed development in the inbred line ‘BTx623’. Key developmental stages are identified, revealing starch biosynthesis onset at 5 days post-anthesis (dpa) and protein synthesis at 10 dpa. Transcriptome profiling reveals dynamic gene expression pathways, and network analysis identifies hub genes linked to starch and protein synthesis. The data establishes a baseline for future studies to enhance sorghum grain quality and yield.
