PRESENTATION ON SORGHUM FLORAL
BIOLOGY
1
INTRODUCTION
Common name: jowar, jola, jonna,
Scientific name :Sorghum bicolor L. Monech
Chromosome number: 2n=2x=20
Origin :Ethiopia
Progenitor : S. arundinaceum (2n=2x=20)
S. sudanese (2n=2x=20)

TAXONOMY
Kingdom : plantae
Family : Poaceae
Genus : Sorghum
Species : bicolor
Other related species : guinea, caudatum, kafir,
durra.

FEATURE OF SORGHUM CROPIT IS C-4 PLANT.
IT IS GROWN EXTENSIVELY IN TROPICAL AND
SUBTROPICAL ENVIRONMENT
MORE SUITABLE FOR RAIN FED FARMING
FIFTH POSITION AT WORLD LEVEL BOTH IN
AREA AND PRODUCTION AFTER WHEAT,
MAIZE, RICE , BARLEY.

BOTANY
Sorghum is a annual or perennial grass.
Root : fibrous and extensively developed, either non rhizomatous or weakly rhizomatous well developed rhizome are found in Johnson grass (S. halepense).
Stem : erect, made up of a series of alternative nodes and internodes.
Pith may be sweet or insipid, juicy or dry.
5
contd….
Leaves :are arranged on stem in two rank alternating on opposite side.
Number of leaves varies from 7-28.
Panicle : varies from lose to compact .
The panicle has a central axis divides into nodes and internodes

FLOWER STRUCTURE
Inflorescence of the sorghum varies from compact head to open
panicle.
Spikelet occur in pair (one large sessile and small
pedicelled) except for the terminal spikelet.
Flowers called a florets & they are enclosed by two bracts called the
Palea and Lemma (Lower Bract).
The Lemma encloses the Palea and the Flower Organs.
7
contd……
Florets occur in groups called Spikelet.
Each spikelet is subtended by bracts called Glumes.
The Perianth of each floret is represented by two transparent scales
called Lodicules.
There are generally 3 stamens and Gynoecium with two hairy
stigmatic lobes. The Stigmatic trichomes are designed to capture
wind-borne Pollen

FLORAL BIOLOGY
sorghum inflorescence blooms in early morning in
basipetal manner
the anther and stigma push out as the glumes open.
Stigma are receptive from 1-2 days before
blooming to 8-16 days after blooming depending
on the variety and the climatic condition
Stigma before the anther dehiscence are
subjected cross pollination (<5 to 50%)
13
contd….
Cross pollination is greater in variety with open panicle than in
compact panicle varieties.
Anthessis begins from 2 a.m. and opening continues till 8 a.m. and
may prolong to 10 a.m.
Fertilization takes 1 to 2 hours after pollination

SELFING
bagging
Isolation

CROSSING TECHNIQUE
Important crossing tools
Hand emasculation:
Emasculation by hot water treatment
Use of male sterile line
Plastic bag/mass emasculation techniques

POLLINATION
Pollens are collected in paper for few hours after
dehiscence and collected pollens are uniformly
spread on the emasculated panicle
Fertilization takes place 2 hours after pollination
Embryo is formed 12 days after fertilization
Development of embryo and endosperm
continues along with starch accumulation for
about 30 days
