abstract = {In recent decades the effects of climate change became more
visible and the problems it causes for agricultural
production and yield maintenance. Future crops need to be
higher yielding than today, but at the same time more
resilient to drought and increased temperatures, especially
in drought-prone regions with erratic precipitation.
Sorghum, more heat and drought tolerant than maize, presents
an interesting candidate for potential genetic material to
provide this increased resilience, containing traits and the
underlying genetic loci conferring better performance.
Compared to the above-ground tissues, root systems are less
investigated, but an improvement in this “hidden half”
also improves yield. Due to their close relationship,
findings in sorghum may be easily incorporated into maize
breeding programs. In this chapter we will review recent
literature on sorghum and other cereal root system
improvements and provide unpublished data on the natural
variation of sorghum root development.},
