Résumé
Le sorgho (Sorghum bicolor L.) est une culture mondialement
importante. Elle est unique quant a la capacite de produire sur
une grande gamme de conditions drastiques de l'environnement. La
culture possede une grande diversite genetique, ce qui permet
de rendre possible la selection des traits d'importance
economiques. Cependant, en depit d'ameliorations significatiques
en rendement, en resistance aux maladies et insectes, et au point
de vue de l'utilisation et de la qualite des produits, il s'avere
necessaire de transferer ces technologies aux communautes
d'agriculteurs et de consommateurs.

Abstract
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a crop of world-wide
importance. It is unique in its ability to produce under a wide
array of harsh environmental conditions. The crop has great
genetic diversity, making selection for most traits of economic
importance possible. However, in spite of the significant
improvements in yield, disease and pest resistance and
utilization/quality traits, there is need to transfer these
technologies into farming and user communities.
Keywords
