About Sorghum bicolor Rio
Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench subsp. bicolor, 'RIO' is an archetypal sweet sorghum line. In contrast to the current reference genome, the short-stature, early maturing inbred ‘BTx623' genotype that is used primarily for production of grain sorghum hybrids, sweet sorghums differ in maturity and grain production, and are most notably characterized by their ability to produce a high concentration of soluble sugars in the stalk (concentrated stem sugars and high biomass yield), which can be extracted for human consumption.
Germplasm & Population Panels
S. bicolor Rio 1 (GRIN: PI 651496) * S. bicolor Rio (1) was selected from the progeny of a cross between Rex (MN 23) and PI 152959 (MN 1048), and registered with the Crops Science Society of America by Broadhead (1972). It is part of the following population panels: * Sorghum Association Panel (SAP) - 407 accessions (Casa et al, 2008) * Sorghum Bioenergy Association Panel (BAP) - 386 accessions (Brenton et al, 2016)
