Nitrate enhances cadmium accumulation through modulating sulfur metabolism in sweet sorghum.

Chemosphere, 2022
Sweet sorghum deploys tremendous potential for phytoremediation of cadmium (Cd)-polluted soils. Nitrate increases Cd accumulation in sweet sorghum, but the mechanism underlying this is still elusive.

Genetic transformation of sweet sorghum

Plant Cell Reports, 2010
Sweet sorghum has substantial potential as a biofuel feedstock, with advantages in some environments over alternatives such as sugarcane or maize. Gene technologies are likely to be important to achieve yields sufficient for food, fuel and fibre production from available global croplands, but sorghum has proven difficult to transform.

Biorefinery of sweet sorghum stem

Biotechnology Advances, 2012
Sweet sorghum has been considered as a viable energy crop for alcohol fuel production. This review discloses a novel approach for the biorefining of sweet sorghum stem to produce multiple valuable products, such as ethanol, butanol and wood plastic composites.

Ensiling properties of sweet sorghum

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 1994
Abstract Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] cultivars have been bred for high sugar content; with accompanying adequate forage yield, the crop may offer potential for ensiling. “Wray”; sweet sorghum, a good sugar producer, was grown under field conditions to determine nutritional quality and subsequent animal performance of silage from the ...

Effect of Sweet Sorghum Bagasse Compost on Sweet Sorghum Productivity in Pots

1996
The main purpose of this work is to study the effect of sweet sorghum bagasse compost application on biomass production of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench cv Dale). Biomass production was studied in terms of dry matter and stalk sugar content, at the end of the crop cycle.

Bioprocessing of sweet sorghum within situ-produced enzymes [PDF]

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 1996
Enzyme-assisted ensiling (ENLAC), using in situ-produced enzymes from Gliocladium sp. TUB-F-498, preserved 80% of the sugar content of sweet sorghum, and facilitated its extraction by countercurrent diffusion. The in situ enzyme was produced on the extracted sweet sorghum pulp by an 8-d solid substrate fermentation (SSF) with a yield of 4.6 cellulase ...

Sweet Sorghum: Breeding and Bioproducts

2014
Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is the fifth most important cereal crop and is the dietary staple of more than 500 million people in over 90 countries, primarily in the developing world. However, sweet sorghum which is similar to grain sorghum except for accumulation of stalk sugars, is considered as a potential energy crop without impacting the ...

Efficiency of nitrogen fertilization in sweet sorghum

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 1985
Abstract In spite of a high N requirement, sweet sorghum hasn't shown a consistent response to N fertilization. This research was designed to study the effect of N fertilization on sweet sorghum as affected by rates and time of N application. Five experiments were conducted under field conditions, where 0, 50, 100 and 150 kg N/ha were applied at sowing,

Sweet Sorghum - an Alternative Energy Crop

2010
The energy crop sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is raising considerable interest as a source of either fermentable free sugars or lignocellulosic feedstock with the potential to produce fuel, food, feed and a variety of other products. Sweet sorghum is a C4 plant with many potential advantages, including high water, nitrogen and radiation use

STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION OF SWEET SORGHUM STALK COMPONENTS

Industrial Crops and Products, 1996
Abstract Stem bark and pith of sweet sorghum were analyzed with reference to their sucrose, simple reducing sugars, cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin and associated phenolic acids contents. Moreover, lignin monomeric units (guaiacyl and syringyl) engaged in non-condensed structures were characterized by thioacidolysis, whereas cell wall associated ...
