Abstract

In little more than ten years a massive international breeding programme has produced sorghums that crop much better under a range of local conditions, but yields are still ten times higher in some countries than others. An extensive collection of germplasm, gathered from around the world and now readily available to breeders, offers new and exciting opportunities for breeding cultivars which combine a number of desirable characters that are not incorporated in any of the existing cultivars.
