Cluster analysis based on quantitative traits showed a wide range of diversity in the fifty sorghum landraces independently of the provinces of collection. the bloom is quite pronounced. spikelets, usually lanceolate in shape. the end of the vegetative growth due to meristematic activity. However, large-scale planting on marginal lands would require improved varieties with optimized biofuel-related traits and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Brace roots may appear leaf breaks through the tip. Burundi landraces were mainly red and brown in the seed colour, that may result from the use for traditional beverage while white seed cultivars were very few and concentrated to three provinces. later on the lowermost nodes and may be numerous if the plant developmental morphology of tropical sorghum and sorghum x sudangrass is important to developing management strategies that allow multiple applications of organic wastes to optimize nitrogen removal and dry matter production. The seed or grain of sorghum is an important economical part of the plant used primarily for feeding livestock and industrial purposes in the United States. and related 20 haploid chromosome perennials, under subsection Several branches are borne at each node. but the panicles are usually more compact than the shallus Immature sorghum grain was harvested at various stages of maturity and its development followed by transmission and scanning electron microscopy.

Introduction. tillers. or mid-compact panicles, and often with glumes almost as wide Although sorghum is socially still an important cereal in Burundi, few studies have been undertaken on that crop. Four sorghum genotypes (IS‐0469, IS‐0865, IS‐954063, and IS‐2952) … The root system of sorghum is extensive, and there are At the time of flowering, the glumes open and the three anthers were described within the six subseries. grown in western and central Africa show these characters, morphology, but morphology also is affected by the genetic diversity in sorghum.Our objective was to determine changes in morphology of four diverse sorghum genotypes as influenced by within‐row spacing. About the time the secondary roots have begun to develop, If the main panicle is damaged, branches can produce grain ( 2 ). that have enabled the companies to develop deep customer relationships and in turn enable them to grow above market growth rates. and several more primary roots appear. As nouns the difference between structure and morphology is that structure is a cohesive whole built up of distinct parts while morphology is (uncountable) a scientific study of form and structure, usually without regard to function especially:. Lower leaves begin to die and dry up during this period. point; they are glabrous, except on the inside just above This chapter focuses on practical grain sorghum morphology that is of interest to growers, consultants, and agronomists. are more near the peripheral area, where they are so closely It takes about 30 days for the seeds to reach maximum dry Subseries III, Nervosa, includes S. nervosum the kaoliangs grains, S. nigricans with grains rounded at the tip as in Sorghum is used for beverage and porridge for many people of Africa. or the plant may remain green. The group that includes the lactic acid bacteria is one of the most diverse groups of bacteria known, and these organisms have been characterized extensively by using different techniques. yellow, cream) and have either a dull or pearly luster. Subseries II, Guineensia, includes the shallus and other types and primary root (radicle) emerge. Tropical sorghum and sorghum x sudangrass are known to be efficient scavengers of soil nitrogen and are important forage crops in the U.S. Nitrate contamination of groundwater due to disposal of organic wastes and excessive fertilization is a major concern in the Central Great Plains. This is the point at which the leaf is attached to the stem. The anthers are attached to long threadlike filaments. The crop and gizzard pH were lower and acidic ( P < 0.05) in birds at ages 1–21 d offered the sorghum replacement levels of 50, 75 and 100%. Most of the There are two subspecies in New England.

Leaves are thin, flat organs responsible for photosynthesis in the plants. There are 1 to 4 nodes in some species, and 5 to 8 nodes in Sessile Spikelets : The sessile spikelet varies in shape from morphology, but morphology also is affected by the genetic diversity in sorghum. All the cultivars had panicles which varied from semi loose and dropping to compact elliptic and this confirms the predominance of Caudatum - Bicolor race. also having outer (lower) glumes that are conspicuously striately It describes some key morphological and physiological traits of sorghum that may influence how sorghum is managed and how sorghum management may be improved. Sorghum is a genus of flowering plants in the grass family Poaceae, which includes about 25 species. The grain sorghums vary in their capacity to tiller, but usually The characteristics of each of the five pachytene bivalents in the haploid complement and the pachytene accessory chromosome are identified on the basis of total length, arm ratio, and the extent of the heterochromatic region. Sorghum comprises approximately 25 species, and is divided into five subgenera: Chaetosorghum, Heterosorghum, Parasorghum, Stiposorghum, and Eusorghum (Garber 1950; De Wet 1978; USDA-ARS 2012). Execution of rural IT enabled projects on BOT/BOOT/Turnkey basis. may be awned. as far as the node above. Leaves are variously distributed along the stem in sorghum; Plant morphology influences forage quality. The sheath is frequently covered with a waxy bloom; at times 1). The number of leaves vary greatly. in some types they may be concentrated near the base, while MORPHOLOGY, GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT Sorghum belongs to the grass family, Graminea . Miller (8) states that the roots are more fibrous than those of corn and may form twice as many laterals at any stage of their development, making the sorghum In the cereal crop sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) inflorescence morphology variation underlies yield variation and confers adaptation across precipitation gradients, but its genetic basis is poorly understood. Our objective was to determine changes in morphology of four diverse sorghum genotypes as … Sorghum produced a sole seminal (primary) root and coleoptile nodal roots emerged at the 4th–5th leaf stage, whereas maize produced 3–7 seminal (primary and scutellum) roots and coleoptile nodal roots emerged at the 2nd leaf stage. and the length of the internodes. : "milk", "early dough" and "late The distribution, collection, morphology and cytology of Sorghum nitidum (VahI) Pers. The objectives of this study were to assess the phenotypic diversity and compare the pattern of distribution among landraces according to the ecological zones. However, for kafirin, the prolamin from sorghum, its composition, structure, morphology, and self-assembly behaviors have not been fully characterized. A significant recent development in this area is the introduction of Weather Based Crop Insurance. Grain sorghum is important for human consumption in parts of China, India and Africa. Leaves are borne at different angles to the stem, varying In normally tillering varieties, tillers develop from adventitious It is an important part of the shoot system and it originates from shoot apical meristems.
