The genetic pool used in sorghum breeding is very small
Breeding for drought tolerance
Some important traits in sorghum breeding Goal: Increased yield Improved tolerance to environmental
stresses – drought and heatKey trait in drought tolerance: Staygreen - post-flowering drought
stressBUT not tolerance to:
Pre-flowering drought stress Heat stress
There is need to screen germplasm for other traits for improved drought tolerance
The sorghum diversity panel
300 lines with diverse background representative of sorghum genotypes from all over the world
Identify physiological traits associated with pre- and post flowering drought tolerance
Grown in multi-locations in multiple years in Kansas Data was collected in several traits (phenology, growth,
Physiological, yield
Leaf/canopy temperature
Mutava et al., 2011 (Field Crops Research)
There were genotypes that recorded: High leaf/canopy temperature with high and also low yields Low leaf /canopy temperature with high and also low yields
Thermal camera
IR sensors
Drought coping mechanisms in sorghum
High transpirational
cooling
Cooler canopies
Drought escape
mechanism
Low transpirational
cooling
Warmer canopies
Drought tolerance
mechanism
These two mechanisms seemed to exist among sorghum genotypes Drought tolerance through conservative water use (slow wilting trait)

Transpiration rate response to Vapor pressure deficit
No BP and low rate of increase in TR with VPD (Red line)• Consistently dry environmental conditions. • Restricted carbon assimilation • Slow growing and probably low yielding even under
well-watered conditions.
Sorghum genotypes could be selected to pursue soil water conservation as a way to improve yields under water-deficit conditions.
BP selection could therefore be matched with the likelihood of water-deficit conditions
• A low BP = greatest water conservation when soil water is still available
• High BP = less-restrictive water conservation.
High initial slope and a low BP, e.g. SC982• Offer a better approach to developing drought
tolerance.• Maximize gas exchange under low VPD and then
shift to water conservation at high VPD.

IR sensors detected variation in canopy temperature among genotypes between 2:00 and 6:00 PM
Genotypes SC1019, SA5330, and SC701 recorded high canopy temperature while Hegari, pioneer hybrid 84G62, SC663 and SC1124 had low canopy temperature consistently between 2:00 and 6:00 PM
Canopy temperature and yield
CTD was positively correlated to yield, harvest index and CWSI while canopy temperature was positively correlated to CWSI
Variation in biomass and TE
There was significant genotypic variation in biomass produced and TE
Genotype ranking based on TETotal
Genotypes SC1019, SC720, SC1047, SC1074 and SC979 had high TE
