Grain sorghum is important for human consumption in parts of China, India and Africa. Basically, two exine oma- 1). Flowering frequently occurs just before or just after sunrise, MORPHOLOGY AND DISTRIBUTION OF ZERAZERA SORGHUMS. It is an important part of the shoot system and it originates from shoot apical meristems. there are usually 14 to 17 leaves, but less adapted plants Development and Dissemination of best practice and information though a unique multi lingual knowledge website for the agri sector. J. Wyatt, in Reference Module in Food Science, 2016. glume is usually somewhat flattened and conforms more or less 1994. Several branches are borne at each node. The culm, or stem, is made up of a series of alternating or rays arise at each node. The genus Sorghum is a member of the tribe Andropogoneae of the grass family (Poaceae) (USDA-ARS 2012). They are male or neuter sex, but (very rarely) The major legume species are cowpea, Bambara groundnut, African yambean and West African locust bean. However, large-scale planting on marginal lands would require improved varieties with optimized biofuel-related traits and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Sorghum is used for beverage and porridge for many people of Africa. There are two subspecies in New England. Pollen morphology of Sorghum Moench - Sections Eu-sorghum and Para-sorghum M. CHATURVEDI, D. YUNUS and K. DATTA Chaturvedi, M., Yunus, D. & Datta, K. 1991. A common disposal method of municipal wastes is application to fallow cropland. and becomes a darker green. Official URL: http://www.cbm.slu.se/eng/mastersprog/thesis2009/N... Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.)Moench), is a cereal crop close to maize and sugar cane. Fig. positions by turning, after the glumes open. subsection has two series. It develops laterally at the node. granular and insular. belonging to the section Parasorghum of genus Sorghum are presented. as long and that open to expose 1/3 or more of the grain at Sessile Spikelets : The sessile spikelet varies in shape from 1. may have as many as 30 leaves. However, there is a lack of adequate Management knowledge and skills amongst the professionals. Growth downward over a 4 or 5 day period. In well-adapted plants The crop originated in the Northeast part of Africa and has been an important crop in many dry areas of tropical countries. buds at the basal node soon after the secondary roots develop. Although sorghum is socially still an important cereal in Burundi, few studies have been undertaken on that crop. Subseries V, Caffra, includes varieties mostly with compact The margins of the leaf are smooth or scabrid, especially Subseries I, Drummondii, includes the so-called "chicken Pollen morphology of Sorghiori hloench - Sections Eir-sorghirrri and Para-sorgltiori. The blades are broad at the base and taper upward to a fine S. roxburghii. Some sorghums tiller However, in some cases the distinct groups of sorghum were related to the ecological zones of origin. are two lemmas, each a delicate white tissue. Root system The roots of the sorghum plant can be divided into a primary and secondary system. Let’s learn more about the morphology of leaves, parts of a leaf, different types of leaves and their modifications. and related 20 haploid chromosome perennials, under subsection species in which the upper sheath nodes are bearded. sphere; after about 10 days it begins to increase in size Vascular bundles are scattered throughout the stem, but there SLU, Swedish Biodiversity Centre. Pollen morphological studies have been carried out by SEhl on 23 species of Sorghitnt (Gramineae) in order to resolve the exine surface patterns in sections Eir-sorghri (subsection Arioidiriacea-series Spotitarten and Satira and subsection Halepeiisia), and Para-sorghiori. Sorghum is a genus of flowering plants in the grass family Poaceae, which includes about 25 species.Some of these species have grown as cereals for human consumption and some in pastures for animals. it germinates; the pollen tube, with two nuclei, grows down morphology, but morphology also is affected by the genetic diversity in sorghum.Our objective was to determine changes in morphology of four diverse sorghum genotypes as influenced by within‐row spacing. This program is a combination of virtual learning and campus based module at XLRI, Jamshedpur. All leaves may be dried, or almost dried, at grain maturity, Extensive efforts in crop improvement have resulted in the development of a number of high-yielding cultivars with substantial yield increment over the years. convex or boat shaped. developmental morphology of tropical sorghum and sorghum x sudangrass is important to developing management strategies that allow multiple applications of organic wastes to optimize nitrogen removal and dry matter production. diameter near the base, becoming narrower at the upper end, Because all heads in a field do not flower at the same time, The glumes close shortly after pollination, though the empty others; internodes vary in length, thickness, and hairiness Leaves are variously distributed along the stem in sorghum; Frequently, the sheaths attached to lower nodes will cover nerved in the upper half. Currently, agriculture value chain is driven by technical expertise. These buds, at successive nodes, arise on alternating sides Halepensia. Morphology Viruses come in many shapes and sizes, but these are consistent and distinct for each viral family. margins that usually become involute.
