Klappentext zu „Sorghum in the 21st Century: Food - Fodder - Feed - Fuel for a Rapidly Changing World “
Sorghum is the most important cereal crop grown in the semi-arid tropics (SAT) of Africa, Asia, Australia and Americas for food, feed, fodder and fuel. It is the fifth most important cereal crop globally after rice, wheat, maize and barley, and plays a major role in global food security. Sorghum is consumed in different forms for various end-uses. Its grain is mostly used directly for food purposes. After the release of the proceedings of two international symposia in the form of books "Sorghum in Seventies" and "Sorghum in Eighties", global sorghum research and development have not been documented at one place. Of course, few books on sorghum have been released that focus on specific issues/research areas, but comprehensive review of all aspects of recent development in different areas of sorghum science has not been compiled in the form a single book. This book is intended to fill in a void to bridge the gap by documenting all aspects of recent research and development in sorghum encompassing all the progress made, milestones achieved across globe in genetic diversity assessment, crop improvement and production, strategies for high yield, biotic and abiotic stress resistance, grain and stover quality aspects, storage, nutrition, health and industrial applications, biotechnological applications to increase production, including regional and global policy perspectives and developmental needs. This book will be an institutional effort to compile all the latest information generated in research and development in sorghum across the globe at one place.

legumes in central arid zone Research Institute (CAZRI) Jodhpur. His major accomplishment includes the identification of sources of clusterbean and moth beans with improved drought tolerance. He is with Indian institute of millets research since 2006 and is working on drought tolerance in sorghum and Finger millet. He has deciphered the principal components of postflowering drought and the mechanism with which staygreen trait improves resilience to Rabi Sorghum in moisture receding environment. He has to his credit 86 publications of various categories which include 72 pear reviewed research papers in national and international journals and co-edited 3 books.
Ashok Kumar Are is Principal Scientist and Product Placement Lead -Asia at International Crops Research Institute for the Semiarid Tropics (ICRISAT), India (www.icrisat.org). He has 20 years of research experience in the area of genetics, plant breeding and provided vision and operational plans for improvedproducts development in various crops. Since 2006, his major focus is on modernizing the breeding programs to enhance breeding efficiency for higher genetic gain and development of demand-led improved products in sorghum for various end-uses- food, feed, fodder and fuel. Besides improving sorghum for food and forage, he led the projects on genetic diversification of hybrid parents for rainy and postrainy season ^40 international partnerships in various projects and provided international consultancies to FAO and IAEA. He is currently guiding two Ph D students.
