The effects of a few important gene families on sorghum agronomic traits
Abstract
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench), a main food for more than 500 million impoverished and food insecure people in arid and semi-arid regions of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and South Asia, is an important crop for food and nutritional security (SA). Sorghum has the most acceptance in these drought-prone areas due to its good tolerance to harsh settings, high yield, and use as a good source of forages. In this review, the objective of this study is to document the production and use Sorghum in improvement programmed through a literature review, we used publications from journals to explore gene families, how they evolved, gene family theories, how gene families influenced agronomic features in sorghum, and in-depth studies of the key ten gene families in sorghum. The future prospects on sorghum enhancement include genomic selections and gene families, as well as comparative genomic selections. Furthermore, understanding the mechanism of these gene families is important for addressing problems that plague sorghum production, including as infections, drought, and heat stress. We can accurately improve traits using modern techniques such as marker-assisted selection, Genomic selections (GS), Marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC), Marker-assisted recurrent selection (MARS), Marker-assisted selections (MAS), and Genome-wide selections (GWAS) if we have the above gene families of interest (GWAS). Sorghum as a desirable breed: future paths and prospects.
