Chapter 19 - An advanced breeding approach toward Sorghum improvement

Abstract

Sorghum is a staple food for millions of people in semiarid parts of Africa and Asia. Wetland landscape extends across a broad region. There are crops cultivated on poor soil that feed the world's population. There are also feed, fodder, and biofuels in addition to food. As a consequence, something like this happens. This plant is well suited to climate change because it can survive in hot, dry agroecosystems. There are a total of 10 essential events as well as 10 interspersed events. New taxa have been created using spikelet kinds. In the United States, sorghum is an important crop. Species that cross-breed and often interbreed depending on the genetics and development style of the plant, and a percentage of 2%–6% is attainable. Crops have taken a lot of time and work to grow. As a result of the improvements, there are now a range of high-yielding varieties. There was a huge rise in output compared to the previous year. The production and application procedure using the male sterility approach, heterosis, may be used to make money. The reduced agricultural yields are caused by a variety of microbial and non-microbial factor effects and changes in consumer behavior. Prices have been continuously reducing over time because of supply and demand. Time passes in a cultivated area. Sorghum has achieved significant advances in biotechnology, including genomics. People have been more receptive to new ideas since then. Thanks to breakthroughs in genomics and molecular breeding, sorghum cultivars may be genetically and molecularly changed. Despite the fact that there have been numerous limits throughout time, the required features to enhance production have been incorporated.
