V [author.]Material type: TextTextPublisher: London : Elsevier/Academic Press, 2015Description: viii, 240 pages : illustrations ; 24 cmISBN: 9780128019269; 0128019263Subject(s): Sorghum -- Breeding | Durra -- Breeding | Sorghum -- Breeding -- India | Durra -- Breeding -- India | Genetic markers | Selection (Plant breeding) | Selection indexes (Plant breeding) | Genetic markers | Selection indexes (Plant breeding) | Selection (Plant breeding) | Sorghum -- Breeding | IndiaDDC classification: 633.174233 LOC classification: SB191.S7 | R43 2015
Contents:
Introduction -- Taxonomy and origin -- Morphology and breeding behavior -- Genetic variability for qualitative and quantitative traits -- Genetics and cytogenetics -- History of winter sorghum improvement in India -- Breeding methods for winter sorghum improvement -- Industrial or alternate uses -- Index.
Summary: "This book covers crop biology, origin and taxonomy, genetic variability, genetics, and cytogenetics. Providing insights into the conventional and molecular breeding for sorghum improvement, the book addresses strategies for breeding for yield and adaptation, tolearnce to abiotic stresses influencing winter sorghum (terminal drought and mid-season cold stress), and tolerance to biotic stresses limiting yields of winter sorghum (charcoal rot among diseases and shootfuly, aphids and shoot bug among insects). The final chapter explores future uses for this important crop, including alternate and industrial uses of sorghum." --
