ارزیابی ترکیب پذیری لاین‌های سورگوم جهت تولید ارقام هیبرید Evaluation of Combinig Ability of Sorghum Lines for Improving Hybrid Cultivars

در سال 1377، شش لاین نر عقیم سیتوپلاسمی با چهار لاین نر بارور (تستر) به روش طرح آزمایشی فاکتوریل (4×6) تلاقی داده شدند. در سال بعد، 24 هیبرید حاصل همراه با 10 لاین والدی در قالب طرح آماری بلوک‌های کامل تصادفی با سه تکرار در کرج مورد بررسی و ارزیابی قرار گرفتند. چهار صفت ارتفاع بوته، تعداد پنجه،‌ عملکرد علوفه ‌تر و خشک در دو چین کامل کلیه تیمارها مورد قرار گرفت. بین تمارها، چین‌ها و اثر متقابل ت...

Production of bioethanol from sweet sorghum: A review

The consumption of bioethanol as biofule may reduce greenhouse gases, gasoline imports. Also it can be replaced with lead or MTBE (Methyl tert-butyl ether) that are air and underground water pollutants, respectively. Plants are the best choice for meeting the projected bioethanol demands. For this scope, a comparative analysis of the technological options using different feedstocks should be pe...

Evaluation of Dried Sweet Sorghum Stalks as Raw Material for Methane Production

The potential of utilizing dried sweet sorghum stalks as raw material for anaerobic digestion has been evaluated. Two different treatments were tested, a mild thermal and an enzymatic, alone or in combination. Thermal pretreatment was found to decrease the methane yields, whereas one-step enzymatic treatment resulted in a significant increase of 15.1% comparing to the untreated sweet sorghum. S...

Gaseous Biofuels Production from Sweet Sorghum and Olive Pulp

Biomass from energy crops and agroindustrial wastes can be biologically converted to liquid or gaseous fuels, such as ethanol, methanol, methane and hydrogen, which was recently characterized as the fuel of the future. Hydrogen is a clean and environmentally friendly fuel, which produces water instead of greenhouse gases when combusted. It can be produced by renewable raw materials, such as org...
