Poaceae, also known as the true grasses, is the fourth largest plant family in the world with around 12,000 species and roughly 800 genera. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They contain, among others, the cereal crop species and other plants of economic importance, such as the bamboos , and several important weeds .

The Pooideae are the largest subfamily of the grass family Poaceae, with about 4,000 species in 15 tribes and roughly 200 genera. They include some major cereals such as wheat, barley, oat, rye and many lawn and pasture grasses. They are often referred to as cool-season grasses, because they are distributed in temperate climates. [1]
Taxonomy [ edit ] The Sorghum genus is in the grass family, Poaceae , in the subfamily Panicoideae , in the tribe Andropogoneae – the same as maize ( Zea mays ), big bluestem ( Andropogon gerardi ), and sugarcane ( Saccharum spp.).
