Sorghum for Bioenergy.

Sorghum is a highly productive crop well suited to the production of biomass for bioenergy conversion. Sorghum is also well suited to serve as a model for other biomass species since it is diploid, annual, genetically well characterized, and cultural production systems are well understood. This presentation will explore types of sorghum available for use as a bioenergy feedstock, as well as utility of specific genes or traits available in sorghum and their effect on conversion of biomass to bioenergy.
