Abstract
Effects of 15, 25, 35 and 45 krad gamma radiation on seedling emergence percentage, days to 50% flowering, plant height and grain yield per plant of sorghum varieties, 'DS-75' and 'Pak-SS-II' were investigated. Highly significant differences in the mean values due to radiation doses for all the characters and due to varieties for days to 50% flowering, plant height and grain yield were obtained. However, the values for seedling emergence were non-significant. The maximum reduction as compared to control due to 45 krad was computed for all the characters. Variety 'DS-75' was more sensitive to radiation than 'Pak-SS-II' for all the characters studied
