Sweet Sorghum: Salt Tolerance and High Biomass Sugar Crop
Soil salinity is one of the main problems for plant growth in agriculture, especially in countries where crops should be irrigated (Ahloowalia et al., 2004). Soil salinity has been considered a limiting factor to crop production in arid and semi arid regions of the world (Munns, 2002). Saline soils are estimated about 5 – 10% of the world’s arable land (Szabolcs, 1994), and the area affected by...
متن کاملGenomewide Association for Sugar Yield in Sweet Sorghum
Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is characterized by juicy stems with high concentrations of fermentable sugars. The genetic basis of these phenotypes is not understood. A sweet sorghum diversity panel (n = 252), consisting of sweet sorghum cultivars (n = 80) and diverse landraces selected for matching plant height and maturity (n = 172), was genotyped and phenotyped in three environ...
متن کاملEfficient extraction method to collect sugar from sweet sorghum
BACKGROUND Sweet sorghum is a domesticated grass containing a sugar-rich juice that can be readily utilized for ethanol production. Most of the sugar is stored inside the cells of the stalk tissue and can be difficult to release, a necessary step before conventional fermentation. While this crop holds much promise as an arid land sugar source for biofuel production, a number of challenges must ...
متن کاملRefining sweet sorghum to ethanol and sugar: economic trade-offs in the context of North China.
Reducing the use of non-renewable fossil energy reserves together with improving the environment are two important reasons that drive interest in the use of bioethanol as an automotive fuel. Conversion of sugar and starch to ethanol has been proven at an industrial scale in Brazil and the United States, respectively, and this alcohol has been able to compete with conventional gasoline due to va...
متن کاملEvaluation and characterization of forage Sorghum as feedstock for fermentable sugar production.
Sorghum is a tropical grass grown primarily in semiarid and drier parts of the world, especially areas too dry for corn. Sorghum production also leaves about 58 million tons of by-products composed mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The low lignin content of some forage sorghums such as brown midrib makes them more digestible for ethanol production. Successful use of biomass for bi...
