of nations and considering environmental issues, biomass-based
energy is a promising option in India through lingo-cellulosic
(2G) biofuel production. High biomass sorghum
is a promising feedstock for 2G biofuels production. However,
higher lignin content of the biomass and water-deficit stress
are major issues in enhancing biomass sorghum based biofuels
production. In sorghum, brown midrib (bmr) mutants with reduced
lignin content were developed.The present glass house
study summarizes a screening experiment of 14 bmr sorghum
lines (Atlas, Atlas bmr-12, Early hegarisart, IS 18542, Kanas collier,
N 592, N 593, N 594, N 595, N 596, N 597, N 598, Roxorange
and R-16) for progressive drought tolerance. The results
showed that among the various bmr lines tested, N 593 had
the highest transpiration efficiency in water-stressed conditions,
whereas N 592 had the highest in well-watered conditions.
The lowest transpiration efficiency was observed in N
597 under water stressed treatment. However, for well watered
treatments the lowest was observed in N 596. The genotypes
having higher transpiration efficiency has more water holding
capacity for longer time under water stressed conditions. This
preliminary study helps to identify genotypes with more water-holding
capacity to adapt well in drought conditions. The
bmr genotypes used here showed reduced lignin content vis-à-
vis white midrib sorghums. The identified lines with low-lignin,
high biomass and higher water holding capacity can be used as
feedstocks in 2G Biofuels production after appropriate testing
in target environments.","2017-02","published",,,,,,,"P-037",,"InterDrought-V","Hyderabad, India","February 21-25, 2017","conference",,,,,,"TRUE",,,,,,,,"",,"http://idv.ceg.icrisat.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Abstract_Book_Final.pdf","org",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
