This experiment examined the association between the level of sorghum midge resistance of a grain sorghum hybrid and its ultilisation by cattle. Twenty-five Hereford steers were placed in individual pens and fed a feedlot ration (80% grain) for 8 weeks containing 1 of the following grain sorghum hybrids: Pacific 810, DK55plus (susceptible to midge); Barrier (low resistance to midge); AQL39/QL36, DK470 (moderate resistance to midge). There was no significant (P>0.05) difference between the hybrids in dry matter intake, liveweight gain, feed conversion efficiency, apparent nitrogen digestibility, and digestibility of the dry matter. No tannins were detected in the grain of any of the hydrids. It was concluded that the development of grain sorghum hybrids resistant to sorghum midge will not affect the utilisation of the grain in steers.

Sorghum Midge

Standardized levels of infestation of sorghum midge Contarinia sorghicola Coquillet were used to compare the levels of resistance in sorghum cultivars (Sorghum bicolor) in glasshouse experiments at Biloela in Central Queensland. Sorghum heads were reduced to 250 florets and ten female midges were caged over each head on three consecutive days during anthesis. Two breeding lines from the U.S.A., IS 12608C and IS 12664C were superior (P < 0.01) to Alpha and KS 19 in percentage seed set and number of midge progeny produced. The percentage seed set was 50, 54, 22, 12 for IS 12608C, IS 1664C, Alpha and KS 19, respectively. The Indian line Q 13828 was susceptible. Testing with a standardized level of infestation is a useful technique for screening parents in a breeding program aimed at incorporation of midge resistance into agronomically useful hybrid cultivars.

Resistant Genotypes

The relationship between percentage seed set on grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) panicles damaged by sorghum midge, Contarinia sorghicola (Coquillett), and percentage compensation (percentage increase in weight) of undamaged seed was examined in 11 experiments covering a wide range of environmental variation and incorporating various sorghum midge susceptible and resistant genotypes. In contrast to previous findings where negative compensation was found after sorghum midge damage, compensation was generally positive, but the slope of the response with respect to seed set changed from positive to negative as seed set increased to >30-50%. Expression of the relationship was similar for susceptible and resistant genotypes. The slope of the relationship for seed sets above the point of maximum compensation was -0.51 for sorghum midge susceptible hybrids, -0.42 for resistant genotypes (various lines and hybrids), and -0.38 for resistant hybrid ATx2755/RTx2767. The pooled slope was -0.45.

Objetivou-se neste estudo quantificar a evapotranspiração real (ETr) e máxima da cultura (ETc) e os coeficientes da cultura (Kc) do consórcio palma-sorgo. O experimento foi conduzido no município de Serra Talhada, PE. O delineamento usado foi em blocos ao acaso, envolvendo cinco lâminas de irrigação (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100% da evapotranspiração de referência - ETo), sob sistema de cultivo consorciado palma-sorgo. O clone de palma forrageira utilizado foi a Orelha de Elefante Mexicana (Opuntia stricta (Haw.) Haw.) e o cultivar de sorgo, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, a SF 15. O sorgo foi conduzido durante dois ciclos (planta e rebrota) compreendidos em um ciclo anual da palma. A quantificação da ETr e da ETc foi realizada através do resíduo do balanço de água no solo (BAS) a cada 14 dias, com a mensuração dos componentes hidrodinâmicos. As determinações da ETc e do Kc foram realizadas com base na lâmina de 75% da ETo. Os componentes do BAS foram submetidos à análise de regressão, sendo testados modelos polinomiais. Com exceção da variação do armazenamento de água no solo, os demais componentes hidrodinâmicos do solo cultivado sob sistema consorciado palma-sorgo respondem linearmente ao aumento de lâminas de irrigação. A evapotranspiração média diária do consórcio palma-sorgo é igual a 3,0 mm dia-1, independentemente da lâmina de irrigação. Os coeficientes do consórcio palma-sorgo são iguais a 0,40, 0,68, 0,90 e 0,52 durante as fases I, II, III e IV de emissão de cladódios.

Le changement des habitudes alimentaires au cours de ces dernières années a abouti à l’apparition des maladies dites de civilisation, parmi elles le diabète sucré. Des approches diétothérapeutiques privilégient la consommation des produits céréaliers sous la forme la plus complète possible. Ce travail a pour but de tester l’efficacité des régimes expérimentaux préparés à base des grains complets des deux céréales, le sorgho (Sorghum bicolor L.) et le seigle (Secale cereale L.), sur la correction de l’hyperglycémie et des marqueurs du stress oxydant associés au diabète chez le rat mâle Wistar. Les résultats montrent que les rats diabétiques, soumis au régime seigle pendant quatre semaines, présentent une diminution significative de la glycémie qui atteint les 53,95 % à la fin de l’expérimentation, ce qui fait que leur taux en glycémie se rapproche de celui des normoglycémiques. Le sorgho blanc présente, d’une part, une diminution significative de la peroxydation lipidique intracellulaire et, d’autre part, une augmentation de l’activité de la glutathion peroxydase, la glutathion réductase ainsi que la vitamine C. Ces approches méthodologiques peuvent, en améliorant la connaissance de l’importance des céréales (fibres alimentaires solubles et des polyphénols) dans l’évolution du diabète, aboutir à des recommandations et à une éducation nutritionnelle du diabétique.
