The invention belongs to the technical field of
agriculture, relates to a
sweet sorghum breeding method, in particular to a method for breeding
sweet sorghum by using a heavy ionmutation breedingtechnique. The
sweet sorghum breeding method is mainly characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) performing
heavy ion beam
radiation, namely, providing carbon,
oxygen or
argon heavy ion beams by using a
heavy ion accelerator, and performing
radiation treatment on sweet
sorghum seeds at a vertical
radiation terminal for 4-6 minutes under the conditions that the energy is 80-100MeV / mu, the radiation dosage is 80-120Gy and the dosage rate is 20-30Gy / minute; (2) performing
mutant screening; (3) performing
mutant detection; (4) performing hybridized combination optimization. Due to the adoption of the breeding method provided by the invention, after
heavy ion radiation,
mutant planting resources which are good in precocity property, high in sweet, high in yield and resistant to adversity can be obtained, after being planted for M3-M4 generations, the mutants can be stabilized, and the efficiency of mutant screening, mutant detection and hybridized combination blending is increased by more than 10% when being compared with that of a single crossbreeding method.
