Background: Sweet sorghum (Sorghum saccharatum (L.) Moench) is a unique crop with great potential to serve both the food and energy industries. It is due to the possibility of (bio)ethanol production both from the juice and biomass of this crop. The sorghum stems juice contains sugar in the levels similar to that of sugarcane. Besides, low cultivation requirements for the sweet sorghum make this crop even more attractive for sugar and ethanol production. In terms of technology, sweet sorghum is seen as a transitional feedstock for the first to the second generation bioethanol production. However, effective technological development of the plant cultivation and processing in the Northern and Central Ukraine is restrained by the lack of a collection of sweet sorghum genotypes and adapted varieties for its large-scale cultivation. Additionally, no evaluations of potential (bio)ethanol productivity have been performed for this region, which is important for efficient implementation of novel biofuel-producing technologies and for successful development of a green economy. Objective: This research was aimed to create a pool of sweet sorghum genotypes with the involvement of worldwide germplasm, analyze their morphology and breed high-yielding plant lines for the efficient production of liquid biofuels for second-generation bioenergy. Based on that, we also aimed to explore the prospects regarding the efficiency of sweet sorghum cultivation for (bio)ethanol production in the Northern and Central Ukraine. Methods and Materials: A valuable gene pool of S. saccharatum (L.) Moench (41 samples) was created; in particular, high-performance genotypes were created for cultivation under the soil-climatic conditions of Ukraine. The bio-morphological features and the yield potential of the plants were determined and the biochemical composition of the phyto-raw materials was determined in different periods of vegetation, in particular, during the technical ripeness of the above-ground mass of plants. The more productive forms and varieties of sugar sorghum in terms of yield, dry matter content, sugar, and energy value of biomass during flowering and waxy ripeness are highlighted. The technological properties of plant biomass for the production of alternative liquid fuels (in particular, bioethanol) have been analyzed. Importantly, optimal cultivation conditions have been elaborated for the newly created sweet sorghum genotypes, and their productivity has also been evaluated. Moreover, for the first time, a detailed study on potential ethanol yield has been conducted. Results: Sweet sorghum has considerable potential in Ukraine as a new sugar-producing energy crop. The germplasm collection of this crop has been created (41 accessions), including introduced and acclimated genotypes and newly bred lines and varieties. The biological performance of sorghum in Ukraine and plant morphology have been analyzed. The most promising genotypes were used for breeding of new high-productive sweet sorghum varieties. The potential (bio)ethanol yield for different sugar feedstocks (juice, grain bagasse) can reach up to 11423 L/ha in total from juice, grain and bagasse. Conclusion: The estimated values of ethanol productivity are comparable to the results of other similar investigations. In conclusion, a high performance of sweet sorghum in Ukraine can be suggested.

Sweet sorghum is currently being evaluated throughout the world as a raw material for biofuel production because its stem juices are rich in sugars that can be directly fermented to ethanol. In this work, the fermentative efficiency of three sweet sorghum genotypes was evaluated, aiming at ethanol production, harvested in two seasons, clean and whole stems, and the treatment of the juice and broth with amylolytic enzymes in order to use the present starch to increase the production of ethanol. The experiment was carried out in the 2013/2014 harvest, in the municipality of Jaboticabal, São Paulo, Brasil, located at 21°14’05’’S and 48°17’09’’W. The experimental design was completely randomized, with sub-subdivided plots and four replications. The primary treatments were the sweet sorghum genotypes (CV147, CV198, and BRS508), the secondary treatments, the type of harvest (whole stems and clean stems); the tertiary the two sampling times (102 and 116 days after sowing - d.a.s) and the quaternary the application of enzymes. In the fermentation process, the yeast PE-2 was used, at the end, the wine was recovered and characterized. Fermentation efficiency and liters of ethanol per ton of sorghum were calculated. The clarification of the juice with enzymatic treatment increases the quality of the fermentation broth and makes it possible to obtain wines with lower levels of RRTs and Brix. Fermentation efficiency is not affected by the genotype; however, it is influenced by the time of harvest and the technological quality of the juice. The use of amylolytic enzymes makes it possible to obtain wines with lower levels of RRTS and Brix. The best period of industrialization was at 102 d.a.s., and the processing of whole stalks resulted in less ethanol production.

RESUMO - O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as características morfogênicas do colmo principal de genótipos de sorgo sacarino, em diferentes espaçamentos entrelinhas e épocas de semeadura. O experimento foi conduzido em Santa Maria-RS, em delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso em esquema trifatorial (2x2x3), com dois genótipos de sorgo sacarino (BRS 506 e Fepagro 19), dois espaçamentos entrelinhas (0,50 m e 0,70 m) e três épocas de semeadura (outubro, novembro e dezembro), quatro repetições e dois anos de cultivo. Foram avaliadas a taxa de alongamento das folhas, o número final de folhas no colmo, a taxa de surgimento de folha, filocrono e taxa de elongamento de colmo. As variáveis não apresentaram interação tripla significativa entre genótipo, espaçamento de entrelinhas e época de semeadura. O genótipo BRS 506 apresentou número de folhas acumuladas, taxa de alongamento de folhas nas épocas de semeaduras constante. O atraso na época de semeadura resulta em menor número de folhas acumuladas e taxa de elongação do colmo para o Fepagro 19. O filocrono para o espaçamento entrelinhas 0,70 m é inferior ao de 0,50 m. Os genótipos estudados estão aptos para a produção na região, desde que a semeadura ocorra no mês de outubro. Palavras-chave: alongamento foliar, filocrono, graus-dia, índice Haun, Sorghum bicolor. LEAF MORPHOLOGY OF SWEET SORGHUM CULTIVATED IN DIFFERENT ROW SPACINGS AND SOWING DATES ABSTRACT - The objective of this work was to evaluate the morphogenic characteristics of the main stem of sweet sorghum genotypes in different spacing between lines and sowing times. The experimental was carried out in a randomized complete block design in a trifactorial scheme (2x2x3), with two sweet sorghum (BRS 506 and Fepagro 19), two spacing between lines (0.50 m and 0.70 m) and three sowing seasons (October, November and December), four replications and two years of cultivation. The leaf elongation rate, the final number of leaves in the stem, the leaf appearance rate, phyllochron and shoot elongation rate were evaluated. The variables did not present significant triple interaction between genotype, spacing between rows and sowing time. The genotype BRS 506 presented a number of accumulated leaves, leaf elongation rate at constant sowing times. The delay in sowing seasons results in a lower number of accumulated leaves and the elongation rate of the stem for genotype Fepagro 19. The phyllochron for the 0.70 m line spacing is less than 0.50 m. The genotypes studied are suitable for production in the region, as long as sowing occurs in October.Keywords: leaf elongation, phyllochron, degree-days, Haun index, Sorghum bicolor.

The fossil energy sources used in the world are gradually decreasing and limited. Fossil fuels cause environmental pollution, and the unit price is constantly increasing. For this reason, demand for cheaper and renewable energy sources that do not pollute the environment is increasing day by day. The sweet sorghum plant has attracted attention in recent years with its high biomass yield, sugar content and bioethanol yield. In this study, it was aimed to determine the bio-fuel potential of some sweet sorghum genotypes in semi-arid climatic conditions. The experiment was set up in randomized complete block design with 4 replicates. Research was carried out in 2015 under Harran Plain (36o 42’ N and 38o 58’ E) second crop conditions, Sanliurfa, Turkey. In the study 49 genotypes of sweet sorghum were used. Stalk yield, juice yield, syrup yield, brix, sugar yield and theoretical ethanol yield were determined in the study. Significant differences were found between the genotypes for tested characteristics (P≤0.01). Stalk yield ranged from 7110.0 kg da-1 to 24262.5 da-1, juice yield from 2550.0 L da-1 to 12187.5 L da-1, syrup yield from 291.4 L da-1 to 2242.5 L da-1. Also, brix value varied between %7.0 and %18.87, sugar yield between 247.7 da-1 and 1906.1 da-1, Theoretical ethanol yield between 131.9 L da-1 and 1014.8 L da-1. Considering to stalk yield, juice and syrup yield, brix, sugar yield and theoretical ethanol yield; Nebraska sugar, Topper 76, Smith, M81E and Corina genotypes were found as the best. As a result of research, 21 genotypes with better performance than the others were selected for further studies.
