Status of the U. S. Sweet Sorghum Collection for Biofuel Research

摘要：

Sweet sorghum Sorghum bicolor subsp. bkolor (L.) Moench is a widely adapted crop suitable for biofuel use due to high levels of sucrose accumulation in stems. The U. S. sweet sorghum collection contains 2,163 accessions obtained from over 62 countries. Many of these accessions were obtained by the Sugar Crops Field Station, Meridian, Mississippi, for sweet sorghum cultivar development prior to its closure in 1983. These accessions vary in brix value, sucrose concentration, and other traits. Utilization of the U. S. sweet sorghum collection has greatly increased in the last few years due to sweet sorghum biofuel research.
