Sweet sorghum for phytoremediation and bioethanol production

Abstract As an energy crop, sweet sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) receives increasing attention for phytoremediation and biofuels production due to its good stress tolerance high biomass with low input requirements. Sweet possesses wide adaptability, which also has tolerances poor soil conditions drought. Its rapid growth the large storage of fermentable saccharides in stalks offers considerable scope bioethanol production. Additionally, heavy metal ability remove cadmium (Cd) particular. Therefore, great potential build a sustainable system Cd-polluted remediation simultaneous ethanol To implement this strategy, further efforts are demand terms screening superior varieties, improving capacity, efficient In review, current research advances including agronomic requirements, Cd pollution, production, breeding discussed. Furthermore, crucial problems future utilization after combed. Graphical
