The Inheritance of Fermentable Carbohydrates in Stems of Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench
Author: John William Clark

Category : Sorghum
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
Two inheritance studies were conducted at College Station, Texas, to determine the nature and mode of inheritance of fermentablecarbohydrates in stems of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench. harvested stems were stripped and topped, and the juice extracted on a cane press mill. Carbohydrates yield was defined as the sum of the glucose, fructose, sucrose and starch concentration in the juice times the volume of juice extracted. In one study involving 16 F1 hybrids from 2 female and 8 male parents, general cambining ability (GCA) values were significant for carbohydrate yield, juice volume and each of the carbohydrate fractions. Specific combining ability (SCA) values were significant only for glucose, fructose and sucrose. The predominance of additive over non-additivegenetic variance was confirmed by a GCA/SCA ratio of 13.6 for carbohydrate yield. Correlation and regression analysis indicated that juice volume and sucrose were the most important components of carbohydrate yield. Glucose, fructose and starch contributed only slightly more to the statistical model for predicting carbohydrates yield. Although the average heterosis effect was small and negative, 7 of the hybrids yielded more stem carbohydrate than the better parent. In addition, an average positive heterosis was found for yield of fresh heads, suggesting that higher grain yields of hybrids would offset any loss of stem carbohydrate. Another study consisted of 5 parents and the 10 F1 hybrids of a one-way diallel cross. The aprents represented a range (...).

Molecular Breeding in Wheat, Maize and Sorghum
Author: Mohammad Anwar Hossain
Publisher: CABI
ISBN: 1789245435
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
The global population is projected to reach almost 10 billion by 2050, and food and feed production will need to increase by 70%. Wheat, maize and sorghum are three key cereals which provide nutrition for the majority of the world's population. Their production is affected by various abiotic stresses which cause significant yield losses. The effects of climate change also increase the frequency and severity of such abiotic stresses. Molecular breeding technologies offer real hope for improving crop yields. Although significant progress has been made over the last few years, there is still a need to bridge the large gap between yields in the most favorable and most stressful conditions.
