ABSTRACT
Sorghum’s resilience under abiotic stress, particularly water and nutrient deficiencies, underpins its domestication and spread. Under suboptimal growing conditions, sorghums can produce greater biomass and grain yield, more economically than many other cereals. While the nutritional value of the grain for human and animal feed can be compromised by the protein-starch matrix, sorghum grain has a high energy and feed value (Dahlberg et al., 2011). It is a gluten-free grain high in micronutrients and antioxidants, making it a primary target for crop improvement programmes and novel application research over the past five decades.
