"Food and energy security are fundamental to the economic development\r\nof nations and considering environmental issues, biomass-based\r\nenergy is a promising option in India through lingo-cellulosic\r\n(2G) biofuel production. High biomass sorghum\r\nis a promising feedstock for 2G biofuels production. However,\r\nhigher lignin content of the biomass and water-deficit stress\r\nare major issues in enhancing biomass sorghum based biofuels\r\nproduction. In sorghum, brown midrib (bmr) mutants with reduced\r\nlignin content were developed.The present glass house\r\nstudy summarizes a screening experiment of 14 bmr sorghum\r\nlines (Atlas, Atlas bmr-12, Early hegarisart, IS 18542, Kanas collier,\r\nN 592, N 593, N 594, N 595, N 596, N 597, N 598, Roxorange\r\nand R-16) for progressive drought tolerance. The results\r\nshowed that among the various bmr lines tested, N 593 had\r\nthe highest transpiration efficiency in water-stressed conditions,\r\nwhereas N 592 had the highest in well-watered conditions.\r\nThe lowest transpiration efficiency was observed in N\r\n597 under water stressed treatment. However, for well watered\r\ntreatments the lowest was observed in N 596. The genotypes\r\nhaving higher transpiration efficiency has more water holding\r\ncapacity for longer time under water stressed conditions. This\r\npreliminary study helps to identify genotypes with more water-holding\r\ncapacity to adapt well in drought conditions. The\r\nbmr genotypes used here showed reduced lignin content vis-à-\r\nvis white midrib sorghums. The identified lines with low-lignin,\r\nhigh biomass and higher water holding capacity can be used as\r\nfeedstocks in 2G Biofuels production after appropriate testing\r\nin target environments."^^ .
