“…However, sorghum is often regarded as a low-value crop for food and feed uses due to low digestibility of its protein and starch relative to other cereals. The low digestibility of sorghum protein is most pronounced in wet cooked foods (Axtell et al, 1981;Hamaker et al, 1986;Duodu et al, 2002) where protein digestibility decreases of up to 50% have been reported (Anglani, 1998;Duodu et al, 2003). The cause for poor digestibility of sorghum protein is not fully understood, but it is postulated to be multifactorial.…”

“…It is a recommended cereal for those who suffer from celiac disease (gluten intolerance) and serves as a rich source of antioxidants (Anglani, 1998). It is ranked fifth in importance in terms of production and acreage, grown on 42 million hectares in ~105 countries in Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas.…”

“…It is ranked fifth in importance in terms of production and acreage, grown on 42 million hectares in ~105 countries in Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. It is a recommended cereal for those who suffer from celiac disease (gluten intolerance) and serves as a rich source of antioxidants (Anglani, 1998). In regions where rainfall is limited and irrigation is not affordable, sorghum is a good substitute for other cereals (Nedumaran et al, 2013;Reddy et al, 2012).…”

Molecular breeding can complement traditional breeding approaches to achieve genetic gains in a more efficient way. In the present study, genetic mapping was conducted in a sorghum recombinant inbred line (RIL) population developed from Tx436 (a non‐stay‐green high food quality inbred) × 00MN7645 (a stay‐green high yield inbred) and evaluated in eight environments (location and year combination) in a hybrid background of Tx3042 (a non‐stay‐green A‐line). Phenotyping was conducted for agronomic traits (grain yield and flowering time), physiological traits of stay‐green (chlorophyll content [SPAD] and chlorophyll fluorescence [Fv/Fm] measured on the leaves), and green leaf area visual score (GLAVS). This population was genotyped with genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) technology. Data processing resulted in 7144 high quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were used in a genome‐wide single marker scan with physical distance. A selected subset of 1414 SNPs was used for composite interval mapping (CIM) with genetic distance. These complementary methods revealed fifteen QTLs for the traits studied. In addition, QTL mapping for individual environments and year‐wise combinations revealed 42 QTLs. A consistent QTL for grain yield under normal and stressed conditions was identified in chromosome 1 that explained 8 to 16% of the phenotypic variation. QTLs for flowering time were identified in chromosomes 2, 6, and 9 that explained 6 to 11% of the phenotypic variation. Stay‐green QTLs in chromosomes 3 and 4 explained 8 to 24% of the phenotypic variation. These identified QTLs with flanking SNPs of known genomic positions could be used to improve grain yield, flowering time, and stay‐green in sorghum molecular breeding programs.

“…Sorghum is also an important staple food for 500 million people in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa (Anglani, 1998). Its ability to tolerate periods of drought, high temperatures, and low inputs has made it a preferred cereal to grow in semi-arid climates.…”

Nitrogen (N) fertilizers are a major agricultural input where more than 100 million tons are supplied annually. Cereals are particularly inefficient at soil N uptake, where the unrecovered nitrogen causes serious environmental damage. Sorghum bicolor (sorghum) is an important cereal crop, particularly in resource-poor semi-arid regions, and is known to have a high NUE in comparison to other major cereals under limited N conditions. This study provides the first assessment of genetic diversity and signatures of selection across 230 fully sequenced genes putatively involved in the uptake and utilization of N from a diverse panel of sorghum lines. This comprehensive analysis reveals an overall reduction in diversity as a result of domestication and a total of 128 genes displaying signatures of purifying selection, thereby revealing possible gene targets to improve NUE in sorghum and cereals alike. A number of key genes appear to have been involved in selective sweeps, reducing their sequence diversity. The ammonium transporter (AMT) genes generally had low allelic diversity, whereas a substantial number of nitrate/peptide transporter 1 (NRT1/PTR) genes had higher nucleotide diversity in domesticated germplasm. Interestingly, members of the distinct race Guinea margaritiferum contained a number of unique alleles, and along with the wild sorghum species, represent a rich resource of new variation for plant improvement of NUE in sorghum.
