TLDR
In this article, the status of the development of herbicide-resistant sorghum technologies, overview of breeding methods, and limitations of such technologies as well as economic benefits for farmers.Abstract:
Grain sorghum is a versatile crop, which can thrive under limited water and other inputs. However, crop loss from weed infestation continues to be a major constraint in grain sorghum production. Particularly, post-emergence grass weed control is a great challenge in grain sorghum due to the lack of herbicide options. Unlike in other major crops, such as maize or soybean, herbicide-resistant sorghum technology that can facilitate weed control throughout crop growing season is not available to growers yet. The development of herbicide-resistant sorghum can have potential to improve weed management, including post-emergence grass weed control. One of the major concerns in the development of such technology in sorghum is escape of resistance traits into weedy relatives of sorghum (e.g. shattercane and johnsongrass). This review focuses on sources of herbicide resistance in sorghum, the status of the development of herbicide-resistant sorghum technologies, overview of breeding methods, and limitations in the development of such sorghum technology as well as economic benefits for sorghum growers. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.read more

Crop losses to pests
TL;DR: Despite a clear increase in pesticide use, crop losses have not significantly decreased during the last 40 years, however, pesticide use has enabled farmers to modify production systems and to increase crop productivity without sustaining the higher losses likely to occur from an increased susceptibility to the damaging effect of pests.

TL;DR: This genome-wide map of SNP variation in sorghum provides a basis for crop improvement through marker-assisted breeding and genomic selection and traces the independent spread of multiple haplotypes carrying alleles for short stature or long inflorescence branches.

Novel food and non-food uses for sorghum and millets.
TL;DR: Sorghum and millets have considerable potential in foods and beverages, and potential by-products such as the kafirin prolamin proteins and the pericarp wax have potential as bioplastic films and coatings for foods, primarily due to their hydrophobicity.

Imidazolinone-tolerant Crops: History, Current Status and Future
TL;DR: A single target-site mutation in the AHAS gene may confer tolerance to AHAS-inhibiting herbicides, so that it is technically possible to develop the imidazolinone-tolerance trait in many crops.
