Abstract: Genomics study on sorghum is very meaningful as it is one of the world's leading cereal crops, a biofuel mcrop with high and growing importance, a progenitor of one of the world??s most noxious weeds and a botanical model for many tropical grasses with complex genomes. Up to now, intraspecific and interspecific sorghum genetic maps have been mconstructed and the whole genome sequencing completed.This provides a foundation for invigorat ing progress toward relating sorghum genes to their functions. Research progresses on sorghum genome such as genetic map, physical map, sequence analysis, QTL mapping and correlat ive genet ics were collected and summarized in this article. And hopefully it can mprovide useful reference and suggestion for scholars endeavoring on relevant research works.

Key words: Sorghum, Genomics, Genetic map, Physical map, Sequence analysis
