Description Members of the worldwide sorghum (Sorghum spp.)
community, including private sector and international
scientists as well as community representatives from
closely related crops such as sugarcane (Saccharum
spp.) and maize (Zea mays), met in St. Louis, Missouri,
on November 9, 2004, to lay the groundwork for
future advances in sorghum genomics and, in particular,
to coordinate plans for sequencing of the sorghum
genome. Key developments that made this
workshop timely included advances in knowledge of
the sorghum genome that provide for the development
of a genetically anchored physical map to guide
sequence assembly and annotation, the growing role
of the sorghum genome as a nucleation point for
comparative genomics of diverse tropical grasses including
many leading crops, and the need for dramatically
increased sorghum production to sustain
human populations in many regions where its inherent
abiotic stress tolerance makes it an essential
staple. This report reviews current knowledge of the
sorghum genome, a community-endorsed schema for
integrating this knowledge into a finished sequence,
and early plans for translating the sequence into
sustained advances to benefit a worldwide group of
stakeholders.
