Описание: Sorghum is a genus belonging to the subfamily Panicoideae and the tribe of Andropogoneae. It comprises many species and subspecies, presenting several kind of sorghum, including grain sorghums, also known as Sorghum bicolor, grass sorghums, sweet sorghums and others. With wheat, corn, rice, and barley, sorghum is one of the world’s most important crops, according to the U.S. Grains Council. The plants of sorghum are cultivated worldwide in warm climates, especially in Africa, Australia, Asia and Mesoamerica, being water availability the main limit for production. Sorghum varieties are studied and cultivated for several purposes, including human consumption and to brew beer, for feeding livestock, and recently for biofuel production. Sorghum breeding is based on the use of either inbred or hybrid cultivars and the study of genotype of sorghum varieties is a very hot topic, in order to improve germplasms. The first section of this book is focused exactly on recent development in sorghum genotyping and genetic studies. Analyses of genes involved in resistance to drought, biotic and abiotic constrains are proposed, along with biochemical characterizations. In the second section of this book the role of some important factors (e.g. silicon, ions, growth temperature,and soil) on sorghum production are investigated. Recent innovative proposal to use sorghum for biofuel production and as an alternative to corn forage are finally presented. The demand for dryland crops in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, such as sorghum and millets, is growing as a number of major global issues continue to impact the world’s food security. Trends include: extreme climate variabilities and increasing drought; the rise in global demand for livestock feed; the growing use of smart foods with high levels of iron, fiber and calcium for weaning children, nursing mothers, and the gluten intolerant; and an increasing global population requiring more food.

Описание: "

Sorghum Biochemistry: An Industrial Perspective" explores the many uses for sorghum in industry and biofuels. Not only does it offer a detailed understanding of the physical and biochemical qualities of the grain, it also takes an in-depth look at the role sorghum plays in such industries as brewing and ethanol production and the mechanics of post-harvest processing and value addition.

Sorghum has long been an important staple in Africa and Asia, but its value goes far beyond its uses in human and animal consumption. Sorghum is also used in many industries, including waxes, packing material, wall board, ethanol, beverages, and brewing, and one variety called sweet sorghum has also been used as a bioenergy crop. "Sorghum Biochemistry: An Industrial Perspective" offers a closer look at how the grain is used in such a variety of ways, and how we can continue to optimize its potential.
Provides detailed biochemical studies on grain sorghum to inform researchers grappling with similar issuesOffers foundational information on the quality and composition of sorghum as a grainCovers a variety of uses for sorghum in many industries, including food and beverage, energy, and brewingIncludes photos and illustrations to enhance the understanding of processes and sorghum biochemistry

Описание: Sweet sorghum is a cereal that belongs to the species Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench. Although the crop is reportedly native to Africa, it is grown worldwide largely because it thrives well under wide rainfall, varied day lengths, and varied soil conditions and can tolerate varying degrees of biotic and abiotic factors and stresses. In Sweet Sorghum: Characteristics, Cultivation and Uses, the authors review the physiology and adaptation of sweet sorghum crops to varied environmental and climatic conditions across Sub-Saharan Africa. The authors also discuss the saline soil distribution and cultivation of sweet sorghum in China. Soil salinization is one of the most prominent environmental problems in the world, which limits crop yield and productivity seriously. Today, about 20% of the worlds cultivated land and nearly half of all irrigated lands are affected by salinity. Lastly, the utilization of sweet sorghum bagasse as raw material in the development of an environmentally friendly particleboard bonded with a natural adhesive without the addition of harmful chemical substances such as citric acid was carried out. The effectiveness of several manufacturing conditions such as pre-treatment of particles before hot pressing condition, citric acid contents, pressing temperature and time, and sucrose addition were investigated.

Описание: . Genetic Enhancement of Rabi Sorghum – Adapting the Indian Durras presents both the historical background and the recent research done in breeding this important world crop for more global production. Its chapters cover topics in origin and taxonomy, morphology and breeding behavior, genetics, and cytogenetics, also looking at production, nutrition, and alternate uses. The durra race is Ethiopian in origin and its introgression with wild forms permitted adaptation to drier conditions. These have migrated and adapted to the currently known crop that is cultivated in the winter season and commonly called rabi sorghums. . Grown under receding soil moisture conditions, rabi sorghums have tolerance to abiotic stresses apart from biotic stresses, unlike the rainy sorghums that are grown widely in the world. However, they must be more resilient to rapid changes in climate, for example. The variability from winter sorghums is being introgressed into rainy sorghums. . With the yield plateaus reached and sorghum gaining importance as a food crop, this book will be of importance to those studying durras and their breeding.
