This new volume, Advances in Sorghum Science: Botany, Production, and Crop Improvement, provides an easy-to-read and comprehensive treatment of the sorghum crop. With the world’s production of sorghum topping over 55 million tons annually, sorghum is very important for as a staple dietary food for much of the world as a rich source of micronutrients and macronutrients, as an ingredient in the processing of many foods, and as a source of fodder. The authors of the volume provide detailed information on sorghum from several disciplines and bring together recent literature under one umbrella. The book covers the various aspects of the sorghum crop, starting from its origin, to its domestication, and going on to biotechnology of the crop. It describes sorghum production, ideotypes, botany, physiology, abiotic and biotic factors affecting crop productivity, methods of cultivation, postharvest management, grain quality analysis for food processing, improvement of sorghum crop, and research advancements in breeding and biotechnology. This valuable resource will be helpful to researchers and scientists working to understand the relation between various disciplines and the implementation of new methods and technology for crop improvement and higher productivity. The multi-pronged approach will help to enable the increase sorghum productivity to meet the world’s growing demands.

Breeding Sorghum for Diverse End Uses is a comprehensive overview of all significant global efforts for the genetic improvement of sorghum, a major crop of many semi-arid nations that is suitable for a huge range of uses, from human food, to biofuels. Split into two main sections, the book initially reviews the genetic suitability of sorghum for breeding, also providing the history of the genetic improvement of the grain. Finally, other sections look at specific breeding programs that could be improved in a number of areas, including human food, animal feed and industrial usage. Readers in academics, research, plant genetics and sorghum development will find this resource of great value. In addition, it is essential reading for engineers who utilize sorghum for food, feed and industrial materials in industry. Provides information on key advances in the genetic makeup of sorghum Allows plant breeders to apply this research to effectively breed new strains of sorghum that are dependent on final usage goals Includes the latest findings in each section to orient researchers to plans for future genetic enhancement

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L., Moench) is the fifth most important cereal crop in the world and represents an important source of food, feed and energy in several countries. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in sorghum cultivation worldwide, since it is relatively more drought- and heat-tolerant than other cereal crops, and it is better suited for the predicted consequences of global warming. In Africa and Asia, sorghum is primarily used as food for more than 500 million people, while in the Americas and Australia, it is used mainly as a maize-substitute in livestock feed. In the United States, sorghum is also being used in the production of ethanol. In view of its diverse utility, sorghum offers a large number of target traits that could be modified to meet the required applications. In this work, we have used different genetic engineering approaches to address two important issues in sorghum: seed quality and nitrogen use efficiency. First, we examined the temporal and spatial activity of a rice glutelin gene (GluA-2) promoter, in transgenic sorghum. Results from quantitative and histochemical GUS assays, as well as from transcript analyses, showed that this promoter is highly active during the middle stages of sorghum seed development and that it controls transgene expression specifically in the seed endosperm. This means that the GluA-2 promoter can serve as a useful tool in introducing novel traits into sorghum seed in order to improve the quality of this important cereal. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS1) and alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT) gene overexpression on nitrogen metabolism and plant growth in sorghum. T_(2) generation plants transformed with a sorghum GS1 gene (Gln1) driven by the maize ubiquitin promoter exhibited enhanced grain yield and biomass accumulation under optimal nitrogen levels.
