“THE SORGHUM TRIBE”

.

*TYPES* –>

“ZEA”

“SACCHARUM”

.

(the andropogoneae are a large tribe of ‘grasses’ (family ‘poaceae’) with roughly 1,200 species in 90 genera, mainly distributed in ‘tropical’ + ‘sub-tropical’ areas)

.

(they include such important crops as…)

‘maize’ 
(aka ‘corn’)

‘sugar-cane’

‘sorghum’

.

(all species in this tribe use ‘C4 carbon fixation’, which makes them competitive under ‘warm’ + ‘high-light’ conditions)

(‘andropogoneae’ is classified in supertribe ‘andropogonodae’ together with its sister group ‘arundinelleae’)

(subdivisions include 12 subtribes, but the position of several genera within them is still unresolved (incertae sedis))

.

*’hybridization’ was probably important in the evolution of the ‘andropogoneae’, and the tribe’s ‘systematics’ is still not completely resolved*
