In the late 1970s Brazil initiated a bio-energy
program (Pro-Alcohol) anticipating an energy
crises caused be a shortage of petroleum to meet
Brazil's fuel needs. There was a strong
incentive to develop technology for
micro-distilleries (100L hr-1) and
mini-distilleries (1000L hr-1) Embrapas sweet
sorghum program was developed to provide raw
material for these distilleries. Pilot Projects
were successfully developed in the mid-1980s at
Sete Lagoas, Brasilia, and Pelotas to process
sweet sorghum in micro-distilleries.

Advantages of Using Sweet Sorghum vs. Sugarcane
  • Sweet sorghum may be harvested 3 4 months
  • after planting
  • Sweet sorghum production can be completely
  • mechanized
  • The sweet sorghum crop can be established
  • from seed
  • The grain from sweet sorghum can be used as
  • food, feed or fuel
  • The bagasse from sweet sorghum has a higher
  • biological value than the bagasse from
  • sugarcane when used as a forage for
    animals
  • Sweet sorghum is more water use efficient

Development of Sweet Sorghum Cultivars
Breeding priorities depend upon how the product
will be used
  • Panicles removed for food or feed
  • Small vs. large panicles
  • Juice is extracted from stalks and leaves
  • Not feasible to separate leaves and
    stalks
  • Juice fermented in micro- and mini-distilleries
  • Juice extraction less efficient in
    smaller
  • distilleries
  • Bagasse used for forage or fuel
  • Starch present in sorghum juice and
    stalk
  • Biological value of sweet sorghum
    bagasse is
  • greater for sweet sorghum than for
    sugarcane
  • Tillering vs. Non-tillering to control stalk
    diameter

Plant Breeding Strategies and Priorities (cont.)
  • Develop high yielding biomass cultivars for
    cellulose conversion
  • to bio-energy
  • - Identify molecular markers for maturity genes
    Ma5 and Ma6
  • to be able to develop
    photosensitive (PS) sorghum biomass
  • hybrids

Ma5Ma5ma6ma6 is photo-insensitive (PIS) and
flowers in approximately 60 days regardless of
day length. ma5ma5Ma6Ma6 is photo-insensitive and
flowers in approximately 60 days regardless of
day length. The hybrid between these genotypes,
Ma5ma5Ma6ma6 is photo-sensitive (PS) and floral
initiation is only induced with day lengths less
than 12h and 20min. This can be useful in both
sweet sorghum and biomass sorghum in locations
farther from the equator where there is more
variation in day lengths (McCollum et al.
reported average yield increases of 25 of PS
hybrids over PIS hybrids at Amarillo, Texas).
22
Plant Breeding Strategies and Priorities (cont.)
  • Develop high yielding biomass cultivars for
    cellulose conversion
  • to bio-energy
  • - Identify molecular markers for brown midrib
    low lignin
  • genes genes brm-6 and brm-12

Homozygous brm-6 hybrids and brm-12 hybrids have
been reported to reduce lignin content in sorghum
biomass by 50

Intra-Specific Diversity for Al Tolerance in
Sorghum
  • SC283 and SC566 rely on the same locus AltSB for
    Al tolerance
  • Genetic basis apparently narrow
  • 8 different Al tolerant sources x BR012
  • Inheritance study and linkage analysis to
    markers in the AltSB region
  • SSR-based phylogenetic analysis
  • Al tolerance gene diversity for pyramidation via
    breeding
  • Stronger alleles of AltSB
  • Different haplotypes at AltSB for candidate gene
    validation
  • Foundation for future association tests

Final Remarks
  • Embrapa has a relative large number (50 -60)
    of sweet sorghum varieties
  • available for characterization for
    quality and utilization in developing
  • experimental hybrids.
  • The variety BR501 (Brandes) is tolerant to Al
    toxicity and is the restorer
  • parent in two commercial forage sorghum
    hybrids. Brandes probably
  • was selected 25 years ago because it
    was tolerant to Al toxicity.
  • Brandes was successfully used in two pilot
    sweet sorghum distilleries in
  • Jundiai, SP and Pelotus, RS.
  • The proof of concept of sweet sorghum as a
    biofuel source has been
  • determined. The next step is an
    economic evaluation for
  • competitiveness with other available
    raw materials.
  • Embrapa is currently evaluating the return to
    an active research and
  • development program with sweet sorghum
    as a source for bio-fuels.
