Species grow naturally in [[tropical]] and [[subtropical]] [[region]]s of all [[continents]] in addition to [[Oceania]] and [[Australasia]]. Because many species of Sorghum are resistant to [[drought]] and high [[temperature]]s, it is a very important [[food]] source in the [[desert]] areas of [[Africa]]. ==References== {{reflist}} {{Biology-stub}} [[Category:Grains]]
