Domestication to Crop Improvement: Genetic Resources for Sorghum and Saccharum (Andropogoneae)

Abstract: BackgroundBoth sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) and sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) are members of the Andropogoneae tribe in the Poaceae and are each other's closest relatives amongst cultivated plants. Both are relatively recent domesticates and comparatively little of the genetic potential of these taxa and their wild relatives has been captured by breeding programmes to date. This review assesses the genetic gains made by plant breeders since domestication and the progress in the characterization of genetic res… Show more

“…Both D. saccharalis and D. lineolata were abundant on sorghum in the dry season, with nearly twice as many larvae of D. lineolata collected from sorghum as on were collected on corn. Diatraea lineolata is native to the Western Hemisphere and has had a much longer association with corn than with sorghum, which was introduced from Africa in the mid‐1800s (Dillon et al., 2007). The association of Diatraea spp.…”

“…hybrids, 2n = 100-130) are heterozygous aneupolyploid derivatives of interspecific hybrids primarily involving Saccharum officinarum L. and S. spontaneum L., with contributions from S. barberi Jeswiet, S. sinense Roxb., and S. robustum Brandes and Jeswiet ex Grassl (Dillon et al, 2007). The complex genomic structure makes sugarcane a difficult subject for genetic research, particularly in classical studies.…”

“…Sorghum is the most closely related species to sugarcane (Grivet et al, 1994, Dillon et al, 2007. The sorghum genome sequencing project was initiated and completed in 2007, with the total genome size of ~730 Mb, and 34,496 protein-coding loci, at the coverage of 8.5x…”
