    Authors: ,

Abstract

The Iowa State University (ISU) sorghum breeding program was initiated in 2009 with the ultimate goal of developing germplasm adapted to the Midwest for the production of biomass as lignocellulosic feedstock. The development of parental lines to create photoperiod sensitive (PS) hybrids was prioritized to maximize biomass yield and improve lodging resistance.
