This book was released on 1971 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hybrid grain sorghum seeds were aged artifically for 0, 3, 5, 7, and 11 days at 42oC and 100% RH, wich produced high, medium, low and lowest vigor level. Among the various laboratory tests performed, standard germination and field mergence, were the least sensitive in discerning the physiological condition of the seed lots. The speed of germination more accurately differentiated the degree of deterioration of the seed lots and was closety correlated to yield. Adverse effect of planting low vigor seeds was found to be related to plant height, panicle exsertion, anthesis, tillering capacity, length of the panicle, and yield. Less vigours seeds produced plants which were not able to "catch up" to the vigorous ones. These slow growing plants were significantly inferior in panicle exsertion to those produced from more vigorous seeds. Seeds aged for 7 and 11 days had their process of exsertion delayed for about 2 and 3 days, respectively. Anthesis, conseguently, was also significantly retarded. Tillering capacity of plants produced from low vigor seeds was significantly reduced, as well as grain yield. Primary head yield was also significantly reduced about 14% for the more deteriorated seeds, and 12% for the mixed treatment, as compared to the control. Yield reductions of 9, 4, and 3% were also detected in seeds aged for 7, 5, and 3 days, respectively, as compared to the check. Seed moisture content generally increases as the vigor level decreased, indicating that the process of maturation was delayed as a (...).

Download or read book Lost Crops of Africa written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-02-14 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scenes of starvation have drawn the world's attention to Africa's agricultural and environmental crisis. Some observers question whether this continent can ever hope to feed its growing population. Yet there is an overlooked food resource in sub-Saharan Africa that has vast potential: native food plants. When experts were asked to nominate African food plants for inclusion in a new book, a list of 30 species grew quickly to hundreds. All in all, Africa has more than 2,000 native grains and fruitsâ€""lost" species due for rediscovery and exploitation. This volume focuses on native cereals, including: African rice, reserved until recently as a luxury food for religious rituals. Finger millet, neglected internationally although it is a staple for millions. Fonio (acha), probably the oldest African cereal and sometimes called "hungry rice." Pearl millet, a widely used grain that still holds great untapped potential. Sorghum, with prospects for making the twenty-first century the "century of sorghum." Tef, in many ways ideal but only now enjoying budding commercial production. Other cultivated and wild grains. This readable and engaging book dispels myths, often based on Western bias, about the nutritional value, flavor, and yield of these African grains. Designed as a tool for economic development, the volume is organized with increasing levels of detail to meet the needs of both lay and professional readers. The authors present the available information on where and how each grain is grown, harvested, and processed, and they list its benefits and limitations as a food source. The authors describe "next steps" for increasing the use of each grain, outline research needs, and address issues in building commercial production. Sidebars cover such interesting points as the potential use of gene mapping and other "high-tech" agricultural techniques on these grains. This fact-filled volume will be of great interest to agricultural experts, entrepreneurs, researchers, and individuals concerned about restoring food production, environmental health, and economic opportunity in sub-Saharan Africa.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physicochemical properties of starch and endosperm were characterized for several sorghumcultivars. A small scale laboratory method was developed for cooking to in acid and alkali media using 9.5 g sorghum flour. Testing procedures were established to characterize to properties. Then the effects of the physicochemical properties on the texture storage and color of to were evaluated. Alkali to (pH 8.8) was stickier and softer than acid to (pH 4.6) in all samples. Acid to was lighter in color than alkali to. Storage for 24 hr. at up to 35(DEGREES)C decreased the stickiness and softness of to from most sorghum varieties. The genetic property of the grain, the environment during growth and maturation and the pH of the cooking medium all interracted to determine textural and keeping properties of to. Thousand kernel weight, was not related to to textural properties. However kernel density and endosperm texture were significantly related to the texture of acid to. Flour particle size increased as the corneous portion of the kernel increased. Acid to from grains with corneous endosperms were firmer and less sticky than to from floury endosperms. However, endosperm texture and flour particle size were not related to texture of alkali to. Protein, starch and amylose content of the endosperm did not significantly relate to to texture. The enzyme susceptible starch in the flour was related to to texture (r = 0.68). Waxy sorghums make very soft and sticky to. Starch pasting and setback viscosities were significantly correlated with texture of acid to. The relationship between the amylograph cooking properties of flour and to texture was significantly due to differences in pH of the cooking media and parameters measured. Starch swelling power and solubility are not significantly related with to quality. However starch granule size affected the texture of stored alkali to significantly (r = 0.60).
Book Synopsis In Vitro and Field Based Evaluation for Grain Mold Resistance and Its Impact on Quality Traits in Sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench) by : Sandeep Singh Tomar

Moench) written by Sandeep Singh Tomar and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grain mold (GM) is an important biotic constraint limiting yield and market value of sorghum grains. It results in kernel discoloration and deterioration. Such kernels have reduced seed viability, low food and feed quality. Breeding for grain mold resistance is challenging because of the complex nature of host-pathogen-environment interactions. This complex task could be made simpler by utilizing molecular markers. Utilization of marker resources may help to find genomic regions associated with grain mold resistance. In this study, three sets of field and laboratory based experiments were performed which will help in finding potential grain mold pathogens responsible for kernel deterioration in the studied environment and search for genotypes with better kernel quality and grain mold resistance. In the first part of the study, in vitro screening of 44 grain mold resistant sorghum genotypes developed and released by Texas A & M AgriLife Research. This study was aimed at identifying sources resistance to grain mold infection through laboratory screening. The result revealed that genotypes Tx3371, Tx3373, Tx3374, Tx3376, Tx3407, Tx3400, and Tx3402 were have high level of resistance and were identified as potential sources of grain mold resistance as each showed minimal fungal infection and higher grain quality traits. The second experiment was performed to optimize surface sterilization protocol for the extraction of fungal pathogens from the kernel surface (pericarp) and to study the effect of bleach percentage and time period on pathogen extraction. Seven treatments using sterilized double distilled water (0 % bleach (v/v)) and different bleach (NaOCl) concentrations (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 %) were used with a time interval of 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 min. Optimized surface sterilization in the range of 7.5 to 15 % bleach (v/v) for 7.5 to 10 min resulted least contamination and fungal genera isolation from the surface of the kernel. The third study was aimed at characterizing genotypes (sorghum association panel) for grain mold pathogen F. thapsinum and by using genome wide association (GWA) tool in order to find genomic regions associated with grain mold resistance. We studied the effect of different agronomic and panicle architecture traits on grain mold incidence and severity. Effects of grain mold on kernel quality traits were also studied. We reported two loci associated with grain mold resistance. Based on first year field screening results, 46 genotypes having grain mold ratings 1-5 (1 = 1% panicle kernel molded; 5 = 50% panicle kernel molded) were selected for a detailed study aimed at understanding grain mold x fungal pathogen interactions to physical and chemical kernel traits. Seed germination test, vigor index, and tetrazolium viability test were performed to study effect of grain mold infection on kernel viability and vigor. Alternaria, Fusarium thapsinum, F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum were the main fungal genera isolated from bisected kernels. Based on two year screening, SC623, SC67, SC621, SC947 and SC1494 were most resistant based on both PGMR and TGMR rating while SC370, SC833, SC1484, and SC1077 showed the most susceptible reaction and this was consistent for individual location analysis. SC309, SC213, SC833, SC971 and SC1047 are genotypes having identified loci for grain mold resistance.

Book Synopsis Effect of Genotypes and Nitrogen on Grain Quality of Sorghum by : Sory Diallo
Download or read book Effect of Genotypes and Nitrogen on Grain Quality of Sorghum written by Sory Diallo and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is cultivated as an important food grain in the semi-arid regions of Africa. Processed grain sorghum is traditionally consumed as porridge, couscous, traditional tô or beer. The quality of such foods is highly dependent upon grain characteristics. Sorghum grain quality traits mainly include kernel hardness, kernel weight, kernel size, protein content and kernel color. Grain quality traits are often influenced by environment, genotypes, fertilizer management and their interaction. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of different levels of nitrogen application (0, 45, and 90 kg ha−1) on grain quality of selected sorghum genotypes. The field experiment was conducted at three locations in 2010 (Manhattan, Ottawa, and Hays) and at two locations in 2011 (Manhattan and Ottawa). The experiment was laid in split plot randomized complete bloc design and replicated four times. The main plots were assigned to three N regimes: control (0 kg N ha−1), half recommended rate (45 kg N ha−1) and recommended rate (90 kg N ha−1). The subplots were assigned to twelve genotypes (six hybrids and six inbred lines). Plot size was 6.1 m x 3.0 m with a row spacing of 0.75 m. After harvest, grain quality traits (hardness, weight, diameter and protein content) were evaluated using standard procedures and the data subjected to statistical design using SAS. There were significant effects of genotype for most grain quality traits across both locations in Manhattan. Inbred lines SC35 and SC599 had maximum hardness at all locations while hybrid 95207, had the lowest hardness for all locations. Also, Inbred lines SC35 and Tx340 had maximum protein content at all the locations. While hybrids 95207, 26056, 23012 had the lowest protein content. Genotypes Tx430, SC35, had higher hardness and with higher protein content were classified as high quality. We conclude that application of N (45 or 90 kg ha−1) significantly improved grain protein, but not other quality traits. There are opportunities to improve grain protein through fertilizer management and plant breeding.
