"Characterization of semi-arid Chadian sweet sorghum accessions as potential sources for sugar and ethanol production"^^ . "Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is an important crop in Chad that plays an economic role\r\nin the countryside were stalks are produced mainly for human consumption without any processing.\r\nUnfortunately, very little information exists on its genetic diversity and brix content. Studies\r\nperformed in 2014 and 2015 showed that there were significant variations (p < 0.001) for all assessed\r\nquantitative traits. Potential grain yield (0.12–1.67 t ha−1), days to 50% flowering (68.3–126.3 days),\r\nand plant height (128.9–298.3 cm) were among traits that exhibited broader variability. Brix content\r\nrange from 5.5 to 16.7% across accessions, was positively correlated to stalk diameter and plant\r\nheight, but negatively correlated to moisture content in fresh stalk and potential grain yield. Fresh\r\nstalk yield range from 16.8 to 115.7 Mg ha−1, with a mean value of 58.3 Mg ha−1 across accession.\r\nMoisture content in fresh stalk range from 33.7 to 74.4% but was negatively correlated to fresh\r\nstalk yield. Potential sugar yield range from 0.5 to 5.3 Mg ha−1 across accession with an average of\r\n2.2 Mg ha−1. Theoretical ethanol yield range from 279.5 to 3,101.2 L ha−1 across accession with an\r\naverage of 1,266.3 L ha−1 which is significantly higher than values reported under similar semiarid\r\nconditions. Overall, grain yields were comparatively low. However, two accessions had grain yield of\r\nmore than 1.5 t ha−1; which is greater than the average 1.0 t ha−1 for local grain sorghum varieties in\r\nChad. These could have multi-purpose uses; grains, sugar and bioenergy production."^^ . "2020-09" . . . "10" . "1" . . "Nature Research"^^ . . . "Scientific Reports (TSI)"^^ . . .
