Evaluation of grain yield in sorghum hybrids under water stress
Authors: C.B. Menezes, D.C. Saldanha, C.V. Santos, L.C. Andrade, M.P. Mingote J�ºlio, A.F. Portugal and F.D. Tardin
Sorghum grain yield can be significantly affected by climatic changes, especially drought and high temperature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate hybrids of grain sorghum grown under normal irrigation conditions or water stress in order to select those likely to be more tolerant of drought. Forty-nine hybrids were grow.. Read More»

The breeding of sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, aimed at improving its nutritional quality, is of great interest, since it can be used as a highly nutritive alternative food source and can possibly be cultivated in regions with low rainfall. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the potential and genetic diversity of grain-sorghum hybri.. Read More»

Association among agro-industrial traits and simultaneous selection in sweet sorghum
Authors: P.S.S. Leite, T.G. Fagundes, J.A.R. Nunes, R.A.C. Parrella,N.N.L. Dur�£es and A.T. Bruzi
Sweet sorghum has emerged as an alternative crop for ethanol yield. The breeding of this crop is performed to obtain cultivars with high ethanol yield, which necessarily requires associating favorable phenotypes for multiple traits. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the association between agro-industrial t.. Read More»

Contribution of morphoagronomic traits to grain yield and earliness in grain sorghum
Authors: K.J. da Silva, P.E. Teodoro, C.B. de Menezes, M.P.M. J�ºlio,V.F. de Souza, M.J. da Silva, L.D. Pimentel and A. Bor�©m
Given the importance of selecting lines to obtain hybrids, we aimed to verify the relationship between morphological traits that can be used as the criteria for the selection of sorghum lines with high grain yield and earliness. A total of 18 traits were evaluated in 160 sorghum elite lines, in an incomplete block design with .. Read More»

Stability and adaptability of grain sorghum hybrids in the off-season
Authors: J.E. Almeida Filho, F.D. Tardin, R.F. Daher, T.C. Barb�©, C.M. Paula, M.J. Cardoso and V.P.C. Godinho
We analyzed productivity data obtained from experiments on grain sorghum conducted in 7 locations of its cultivation in Brazil. A total of 25 hybrids were analyzed, of which 22 were pre-commercial and 3 were cultivars. The Wricke and Purchase et al. methods were highly consistent in identifying individuals with low contributio.. Read More»

Adaptability and stability of genotypes of sweet sorghum by GGEBiplot and Toler methods

Sweet sorghum has considerable potential for ethanol and energy production. The crop is adaptable and can be grown under a wide range of cultivation conditions in marginal areas; however, studies of phenotypic stability are lacking under tropical conditions. Various methods can be used to assess the stability of the crop. Some of these methods generate th.. Read More»

The purpose of this study was to evaluate 165 hybrids derived from lines previously selected for aluminum (Al) tolerance. Nine check cultivars were used, eight commercial hybrids and one experimental hybrid. Hybrids were evaluated at three levels of Al saturation (0, 20 and 40% on average). The differences between the environm.. Read More»

Biodiversity in the sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) germplasm of Pakistan
Authors: A. Iqba, B. Sadia, A.I. Khan, F.S. Awan, R.A. Kainth and H.A. Sadaqat
Sorghum ranks fifth in worldwide economic importance among cereal crops and is one of the most important summer annual grasses of Pakistan. As it is a very diverse crop, sorghum genetic fingerprinting requires an efficient marker system. We estimated genetic divergence among 29 sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) genotypes, including ap..

Path analysis of agro-industrial traits in sweet sorghum
Authors: G.M.R. Lombardi, J.A.R. Nunes, R.A.C. Parrella, D.H.L. Teixeira1, A.T. Bruzi, N.N.L. Dur�£es and T.G. Fagundes
Sweet sorghum has considerable potential for ethanol production due to its succulent stalks that contain directly fermentable sugars. Since many traits need to be considered in the selection process to breed superior cultivars for ethanol production, then correlations between the traits might be of use to help the breeder define optimal improvement strate..
