Abstract:
<p><strong>English</strong><br />One of issues in Indonesia related with food security is reliance on imported foods, especially wheat and rice. To cope with this issue, development of local food crops substitute to both foods is essential particularly those adapted to dry land characterized by barrenness, high erosion risk, and limited water supply. Sorghum is one of local food crops to these drought characteristics. Use of sorghum as flour for producing processed foods (noodles, breads, cakes, etc.) can substitute up to 15 to 50 percent of wheat flour. Other industrial products, as well as bio-ethanol, can also be produced using sorghum. Sorghum crop waste is contains high nutrients appropriate for animal feed. To encourage sorghum cultivation in the dry land it is necessary to apply an integrated agribusiness, namely sorghum plant, flour processing, bio ethanol processing, and cattle farming, conducted in a large scale. Development of sorghum processing industries is essential in expanding sorghum market as well as its economic value. In the same time cattle farming is essential to maintain dry land fertility. As an initial stage, this integrated business should be conducted by BUMN (government own companies) facilitated by subsidized investment credit.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Salah satu masalah yang dihadapi Indonesia berkaitan dengan ketahanan pangan adalah ketergantungan terhadap bahan pangan impor terutama beras dan gandum. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut maka perlu dikembangkan bahan pangan lokal lain yang dapat mensubstitusi kedua bahan pangan tersebut dan dapat dikembangkan pada lahan kering yang umumnya memiliki kesuburan rendah, peka terhadap erosi dan ketersediaan air terbatas. Sorgum merupakan tanaman pangan lokal yang dapat dikembangkan pada lahan kering dan penggunaan tepung sorgum untuk pembuatan berbagai produk makanan olahan (mie, roti, kue, dst) dapat mensubstitusi 15%-50 persen tepung gandum. Berbagai produk industri lainnya dan bioetanol juga dapat dibuat dari sorgum sementara limbah tanaman sorgum bernilai gizi tinggi untuk bahan pakan ternak. Untuk mendorong pengembangan tanaman sorgum di lahan kering perlu diterapkan sistem usaha yang terintegrasi : tanaman sorgum - pengolahan tepung sorgum – pengolahan bioetanol - ternak sapi dalam skala luas. Pengembangan industri pengolahan sorgum diperlukan untuk meningkatkan nilai ekonomi dan memperluas pasar sorgum sedangkan pengembangan ternak sapi diperlukan untuk mempertahankan kesuburan lahan kering. Sebagai inisiasi, pengembangan usaha yang terintegrasi tersebut perlu dilaksanakan oleh BUMN yang difasilitasi dengan subsidi kredit investasi.</p>

Abstract:
Injera, an East African leavened sourdough fermented pancake has remarkable textural properties despite being made from non-wheat flours. However, teff flour, which produces the best quality injera, is expensive and limited in availability. The effects of waxy (high amylopectin) and high protein digestibility (HD) traits in sorghum on injera quality were studied. Eight white tan-plant sorghum lines expressing these traits in various combinations and three normal sorghum types were studied, with teff flour as reference. Descriptive sensory profiling of fresh and stored injera revealed that injera from waxy sorghums were softer, spongier, more flexible and rollable compared to injera from normal sorghum and much closer in these important textural attributes to teff injera. Instrumental texture analysis of injera similarly showed that waxy sorghum injera had lower stress and higher strain than injera from normal sorghum. The improved injera textural quality was probably due to the slower retrogradation and better water-holding of amylopectin starch. The HD trait, however, did not clearly affect injera quality, probably because the lines had only moderately higher protein digestibility. In conclusion, waxy sorghum flour has considerable potential for the production of gluten-free sourdough fermented flatbread-type products with good textural functionality.

Abstract:
Sorghum has great potential to be developed as a food source in Indonesia. This study aims to regenerate sweet sorghum in vitro, by adding coconut water and garlic powder to tissue culture. The experiment used a completely randomized design with two treatment factors, and with 2 replications. The first factor was the concentration of coconut water (A), consisting of: A0 (0 mL/L), A1 (50 mL/L), A2 (100 mL/L), A3 (150 mL/L), and A4 (200 mL/L). The second factor was the concentration of garlic powder (B), consisting of : B0 (0 g/L), B1 (10 g/L), B2 (20 g/L), B3 (30 g/L), and B4 (40 g/L). Data were analysis by the analysis of variance wth the F test and DMRT follow-up test at a 0,05 level. The results of the F test showed that the variables of the time of shoot emergence, shoot height at the age of 3, 12, 15, and 18 days after initiation (DAI) were not significantly affected by treatments A, B, and their interaction (A×B), also the percentage of shoot emergence in treatments A, B, and shoot height in treatments B. Variables of shoot number and shoot height at 6 DAI were affected by treatments A, B, and A×B, also the percentage of shoot emergence in treatment A, and shoot height 9 DAI in treatments A and B. DMRT test results showed that the A4 treatment gave the best results on shoot percentage, shoot height at 6 and 9 DAI, and treatment B2 on shoot number. The addition of 200 mL/L coconut water increased shoot height and 20 g/l garlic powder increased the number of shoots in this study.

Abstract:
Bioenergy is expected to play a key role in achieving a future sustainable energy system. Sweet sorghum-based fuel ethanol, one of the most promising bioenergy sources in China, has been receiving considerable attention. However, the conflict between sweet sorghum development and traditional water use has not been fully considered. The article presents an integrated method for evaluating water stress from sweet sorghum-based fuel ethanol in China. The region for developing sweet sorghum was identified from the perspective of sustainable development of water resources. First, the spatial distribution of the water demand of sweet sorghum-based fuel ethanol was generated with a Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) model coupled with Geo-Information System (GIS). Subsequently, the surplus of water resources at the provincial scale and precipitation at the pixel scale were considered during the growth period of sweet sorghum, and the potential conflicts between the supply and demand of water resources were analyzed at regional scale monthly. Finally, the development level of sweet sorghum-based fuel ethanol was determined. The results showed that if the pressure of water consumption of sweet sorghum on regional water resources was taken into account, about 23% of the original marginal land was not suitable for development of sweet sorghum-based fuel ethanol, mainly distributed in Beijing, Hebei, Ningxia, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Tianjin. In future energy planning, the water demand of energy plants must be fully considered to ensure its sustainable development.

Abstract:
In March 1997, ergot was found on sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) regrowth in several abandoned commercial grain sorghum fields in Cameron and Hidalgo counties in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) of Texas. White sphacelia in florets produced honeydew containing macrospores (hyaline, oblong to oval, 10 to 25 μm × 5 to 7 μm) and microspores (hyaline, spherical, 3 μm in diameter). Macrospores germinated iteratively to form secondary conidia when placed on water agar and in situ following rain. Secondary conidia were hyaline, pyriform, with a protruding hilum, and measured 10 to 17 μm × 5 to 7 μm. High-pressure liquid chromatography analysis detected the alkaloid di-hydroergosine in sphacelia, which is unique to C. africana (1). The pathogen was also confirmed on adjacent johnsongrass (S. halepense). The spread of ergot across Texas was associated with the progressive maturation of the commercial sorghum crop as follows: LRGV (mid-May), Coastal Bend near Corpus Christi (June), Winter Garden area southwest of San Antonio (July), and the seed production region of the Texas Panhandle (mid-August). Ergot incidence ranged from a trace to 10% of the heads in (self-fertile) grain sorghum fields of the LRGV. Most heads had only a few infected florets, but a few heads had 35 to 50% of the florets infected. Only trace amounts were found in grain sorghum fields in other areas of the state. Incidence and severity of ergot were greatest in fields of male-sterile sorghums grown for forage. Ergot was generally low in primary heads of male-sterile sorghums in hybrid seed production fields but, in the absence of pollen, axillary tillers sometimes developed high levels of ergot. The major impact of sorghum ergot is expected to be in hybrid seed production fields in the High Plains of Texas. Reference: (1) D. E. Frederickson et al. Mycol. Res. 95:1101, 1991.

Abstract:
Evapotranspiration and transpiration measurements represent a tool for the assessment of crop water demand. The aim of this study was to compare sorghum and maize with respect to its potential for forage production in areas with insufficient precipitation in Central Europe. The values of the actual evapotranspiration (ET<sub>a</sub>, Bowen ratio balance method), transpiration (sap flow method), leaf area index (LAI) and biomass production of sorghum and maize were measured continuously in years 2010–2012. Sorghum stand provided higher ET<sub>a</sub> in comparison with maize in dry year 2012. Maize produced consistently more above-ground biomass yield and lower LAI over all evaluated years than sorghum. The sorghum provided similar or higher water use efficiency (WUE) than maize during the period of intensive prolongation growth, however, the higher WUE did not result in higher biomass production.

Abstract:
Sorghum is one of the non-rice commodities which have a relatively high content of nutrients, especially protein and carbohydrate. However, the nutritional value is to be down and relatively low due to the relatively high tannin content as an anti-nutrient. Fairly high tannin content in sorghum is also causing sorghumhas unpleasant taste and slightly bitter or "Sepet". Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the content of tannins in sorghum that is expected to improve the quality of nutrition, especially the increase in protein and starch digestibility and palatability or the flavor of sorghum products. The purpose of this study is to obtain the best method to lower tannin content in the manufacture of low-tannin sorghum milling, which will be used in the manufacture of instant rice sorghum. This research was done in two stages, namely 1) the timing of the millingstage and 2) the development stage of a method of making low-tannin sorghum milling by comparing the content of tannin reduction method with the immersion process in alkaline solution (NaOH 0.3% and 0.3% Na2CO3) and distilled water with the method of reducing tannin content without immersion process. The results of this study indicate that the best milling time that can produce milled sorghum with good physical sorghum is five minutes and the best immersion treatment that can lower the optimum tannin content is by immersing in 0.3%Na2CO3 solution for 24 hours. This method can reduce up to 77.46% tannin content.

Abstract:
Master of Science<br>Department of Agronomy<br>Robert M. Aiken<br>Increasing crop water use efficiency (WUE), the amount of biomass produced per unit water consumed, can enhance crop productivity and yield potential. The objective of the first study was to evaluate the factors affecting water productivity among eight sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) genotypes, which differ in canopy architecture. Sorghum genotypes, grown under field conditions, showed significant differences in (a) biomass production, (b) water use, (c) intercepted radiation, (d) water productivity and (e) radiation use efficiency (RUE; the amount of biomass produced per unit of intercepted radiation which is suitable for photosynthesis). WUE and RUE were more strongly correlated to biomass production than to water use or intercepted radiation, respectively. RUE was positively correlated to WUE and tended to increase with internode length, the parameter used to characterize canopy architecture. These results demonstrate that increased utilization of radiation can increase water productivity in plants. Sorghum canopies that increase light transmission to mid−canopy leaves can increase RUE and also have the potential to increase crop productivity and WUE. The objective of the second study was to develop a quantitative model to predict leaf area index (LAI), a common quantification of canopy architecture, for sorghum from emergence to flag leaf stage. LAI was calculated from an algorithm developed to consider area of mature leaves (leaves with a ligule/collar), area of expanding leaves (leaves without a ligule/collar), total leaf area per plant and plant population. Slope of regression of modeled LAI on observed LAI varied for photoperiod sensitive (PPS) and insensitive (non−PPS) genotypes in 2010. A good correlation was found between the modeled and observed LAI with coefficient of determination (R[superscript]2) 0.96 in 2009 and 0.94 (non−PPS) and 0.88 (PPS) in 2010. These studies suggest that canopy architecture has prominent influence on water productivity of crops and quantification of canopy architecture through an LAI simulation model has potential in understanding RUE, WUE and crop productivity.

Abstract:
Master of Science<br>Department of Agronomy<br>Ignacio Ciampitti<br>Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] has greater drought resilience than many other crops, producing food in the most stressful environments. Sorghum is a reasonable crop choice for farmers working with limited-water supply. The objective of this study was to compare sorghum hybrids differing in yield strategies under varying water supply environments. Yield, biomass, grain harvest index (HI), and yield components (seed number and seed weight) were compared in both rainfed and irrigated situations. Field experiments were established in 2014 and 2015 at Topeka, Scandia, Hutchinson, Garden City, and Tribune, KS. Three sorghum hybrids (Pioneer 85Y40, Pioneer 84G62, and Dekalb 53-67) with different yield potentials at varying water supply were studied. Hybrids 85Y40 and 84G62 tended to have greater yields than hybrid 53-67 when the environment's average yield level was greater than 8.5 Mg haˉ¹. The opposite scenario where hybrid 53-67 had greater yields than the other two hybrids tended to occur for environments yielding less than 8.5 Mg haˉ¹. Both biomass and HI were significantly correlated with grain yield (r values of 0.62 and 0.32 respectively), with biomass having an overall stronger correlation than HI in all environments. In yield group 3 (<8.5 Mg haˉ¹), biomass was much more strongly correlated (r=0.85) to yield than in the yield groups 1 and 2 (>9.5 Mg haˉ¹ and 8.5-9.5 Mg haˉ¹ with r values of 0.35 and 0.52 respectively) suggesting that biomass production is of utmost importance for yield production in drought prone environments. Harvest index on the other hand had a much stronger correlation with yield in group 1 (r=0.62) when compared to group 2 and 3 (r 0.13 and 0.36 respectively) showing the importance of not only biomass, but also of HI to maximize yield in high yielding environments. Hybrids 85Y40 and 84G62 had larger HI values relating to the yield trends in the highest yielding environments. Seed number had a stronger correlation with yield (r=0.77) than seed weight (r=0.37) supporting the importance of increasing seed number to improve yield in sorghum.

This study evaluated relative responses of two grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.)

Y77 and FUNK HW6125, are high and low yielding respectively, having similar maturity periods. Twelve phenological characters were measured. The height to upper leaf collar, peduncle exsertion, panicle length, total plant height and total leaf area showed significant differences between the hybrids. Early boot stage stress was most sensitive to vegetative characters. T.E. Y77 produced more heads/m², grains, panicle, 500 grain weight (seed size), and grain yield/ha than FUNK HW 6125 across all treatments. Seed size was the most important determinant of grain yield in both hybrids. Moisture stress during the seedling and early boot stages enhanced grain yield, whereas during the grain-filling stage it was detrimental to grain yield in both hybrids.

Abstract:
In this thesis, the hypothesis was tested that AMF (<i>Glomus mosseae, Scutellospora calospora</i> and <i>Gigaspora margarita</i>), thought to differ functionally, will produce different effects on water relations when inoculated onto sorghum. To overcome inherent differences between nonmycorrhizal (NM) and mycorrhizal (M) plants, a split-root system (SRS) was devised.  In this approach, the plant root system was equally divided between two compartments one of which was subsequently inoculated with AMF, allowing NM and M roots on the same plant to be compared. Initially, water loss from NM and M (inoculated with <i>G. mosseae</i>) compartments of the SRS was measured.  Roots in the M compartment had 73% of root length colonized (RLC) by <i>G. mosseae.</i>  The water holding capacity (WHC) of the substrate was enhanced in the M compartment, and this was maintained through the drought period.  <i>G. mosseae</i> increased root length (RL), number of root tips, root surface area and root volume.  However, there was no difference in the rate of water loss between the M and NM sides of the SRS. The next experiment examined the possibility that different species of AMF might alter water loss in sorghum plants differently.  Above ground, inoculation with <i>S. calospora</i> produced bigger plants than the other two isolates. Below ground, %RLC also differed between isolates.  There was no significant difference in total RL (adding both sides) between plants, but there were differences in the number of root tips, root surface area, root volume and root branching degree.  When NM and M compartments of the SRS for each AMF isolate were contrasted, roots colonized by <i>S. calospora</i> and <i>G. margarita</i> had greater RL, number of root tips and root surface area, whereas roots colonized by <i>G. mosseae</i> had more root tips and a different degree of branching.  Once again, <i>G. mosseae</i> increased the WHC of the substrate, but<i> G. margarita</i> did so only at the last harvest. There was no effect of <i>S. calospora </i>on WHC.   However, there were no significant differences in water loss either per LA (with one exception) or per RL between the NM and M sides of the SRS with any AMF isolate.  This leads to the conclusion that while AMF affected the WHC of the substrate used in these experiments, they did not affect rates of transpirational water loss from that substrate.

Abstract:
Global gene expression in Sorghum bicolor, an important crop showing drought tolerance in arid and semi-arid cultivated areas, was monitored to exposure of 8-days seedlings to water deficit (20% polyethylene glycol) or cold stress (4 ºC). A sorghum cDNA microarray, including ~13,000 (milestone version 1) or ~28,000 (milestone version 2) unigenes, was used to examine gene expression in shoots and roots at 3 and 27hours after stress treatment. ~1,300 and ~2,300 genes were modulated by water deficit and cold stress, respectively. Up-regulated genes included previously identified stressinduced genes such as early drought-induced gene, dehydrin, late embryogenesis abundant gene, glycin and proline-rich gene, and water stress-inducible genes as well as unknown genes. Genes involved in signal transduction, lipid metabolism, transporter, and carbohydrate metabolism are induced. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to quantify changes in relative mRNA abundance for 333 and 108 genes in response to water deficit and cold stress, respectively. Stress-induced genes were classified by kinetics. Eighteen of 108 cold-induced genes were modulated by cold but not by ABA and PEG treatment. This research provides the starting point for detailed analysis and comparison of water deficit and cold modulated gene networks in sorghum.

Abstract:
Master of Science<br>Agronomy<br>Robert Aiken<br>Xiaomao Lin<br>Productivity of water-limited cropping systems can be reduced by untimely distribution of water as well as cold and heat stress. The research objective was to develop relationships among weather parameters, water use, and grain productivity to produce production functions to forecast grain yields of grain sorghum and winter wheat in water-limited cropping systems. Algorithms, defined by the Kansas Water Budget (KSWB) model, solve the soil water budget with a daily time step and were implemented using the Matlab computer language. The relationship of grain yield to crop water use, reported in several crop sequence studies conducted in Bushland, TX; Colby, KS and Tribune, KS were compared against KSWB model results using contemporary weather data. The predictive accuracy of the KSWB model was also evaluated in relation to experimental results. Field studies showed that winter wheat had stable grain yields over a wide range of crop water use, while sorghum had a wider range of yields over a smaller distribution of crop water use. The relationship of winter wheat yield to crop water use, simulated by KSWB, was comparable to relationships developed for four of five experimental results, except for one study conducted in Bushland that indicated less crop water productivity. In contrast, for grain sorghum, experimental yield response to an increment of water use was less than that calculated by KSWB for three of five cases; for one study at Colby and Tribune, simulated and experimental yield response to water use were similar. Simulated yield thresholds were consistent with observed yield thresholds for both wheat and sorghum in all but one case, that of wheat in the Bushland study previously mentioned. Factors in addition to crop water use, such as weeds, pests, or disease, may have contributed to these differences. The KSWB model provides a useful analytic framework for distinguishing water supply constraints to grain productivity.

Six grain sorghum hybrids, three of which had a higher grain yielding ability and the other three with a lower grain in yielding ability, were used in this study conducted at the University of Arizona, Marana Agricultural Center. All six hybrids were grown under two planting dates (May 21, July 1), two levels of irrigation water (dry, wet), and two levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 112 kg N/ha) in the 1985 growing season. In the 1986 growing season, two hybrids were grown under three levels of irrigation water (dry, medium, and wet) and three levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 84, 168 kg N/ha). Planting on May 21 (monocrop) had more days to 50% bloom, leaf area, heads number, grain yield and total dry weight than the July 1 planting (double crop). However, planting on July 1 produced a longer head exsertion (peduncle length) compared to May 21 planting. Head length, plant height, 500 seed weight, and grain volume-weight were not affected by planting date. Water stress reduced head exsertion, head length, plant height, head number, 500 seed weight, grain yield and total dry matter. However, numbers of days to 50% bloom were increased by dry treatment. Leaf area and grain volume-weight were not significantly affected by water levels. Under the conditions of this study, nitrogen fertilizer rates did not produce an effect on most of the agronomic characteristics of grain sorghum hybrids studied in this experiment. However, increased nitrogen fertilizer rates increased the uptake and nitrogen concentration in all growth stages of hybrids in the 1986 growing season.

Abstract:
The objective of the study was to determine if and how grain sorghum hybrids (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) of different maturity dates compete with one another when planted in adjacent rows under different moisture levels. Five sorghum varieties differing in their maturity were used: Taylor Evans Y-101-G coming to mid-bloom in 71 days, RS 610, Asgrow Corral, DK 64 and DK 69 coming to mid-bloom in 56.9 days, 61 days, 69.3 days and 75.6 days respectively. Six agronomic characters were measured to determine the effect and extent of competition. They included the number of days to mid-bloom, tiller ratio, grain yield, grain test weight and 300-seed weight. According to the results, adjacent row competition took place due to differences in maturity date for grain yield and 300-seed weight. An almost equilibrium appeared between loss or gain of border rows compared to the loss or gain of the middle row. Also the length of time between day to mid-bloom of the border rows hybrids and the center row genotype was important in the extent of competition effects.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter deals with the problem of sorghum farmers’ adaptation to climate change in the semiarid region of Cameroon. Its general objective is to compare the various adaptation strategies’ typologies and to characterize the sorghum farmers’ adaptation strategies on the basis of the suitable one. The stratified random sampling method was used to select the sites, which consist of twenty (20) villages, and the sample, which consists of six hundred (600) farm household heads. After conducting focus-groups in ten villages and interviews with resource persons, the primary data were collected using a semi-open survey questionnaire. It appears that the poor spatiotemporal distribution of rains and the drought constitute, respectively, the main climate hazard and the main water risk that farmers are dealing with; the farmers are vulnerable to climate change because the adaptation strategies used are mostly traditional, their adoption rates are very low, and the use of efficient adaptation strategies (irrigation, improved crop varieties) is almost unknown. The characterization of the adaptation strategies used shows that they are more complex than most authors who have established the typologies thought. It comes out that improving the resilience of these sorghum farmers absolutely requires the improvement of their basic socioeconomic conditions.

Abstract:
The article compares and analyzes the productivity and composition of nutrients of two different agricultural crops of corn variety Sinyu No. 29 and fodder sorghum Jinmu No. 1, cultivated in stubble crops after winter wheat using the same technology. sorghum Jinmu No. 1 has the property of regrowing after the first mowing, which allows you to harvest two crops and increase the overall yield per unit area. The harvest of green mass of fodder sorghum variety Jinmu No. 1 was 120.9% higher than that of maize variety Sinyu No. 29 and amounted to 169762.78 kg / ha and 78277.87 kg / ha, respectively. Similarly, compared to Sinu No. 29 maize, Jinmu No. 1 fodder sorghum has a higher yield, higher crude protein content, higher crude ash and higher water content, which means better silage quality. basis for the promotion and use of fodder sorghum．
