Abstract

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], together with maize (Zea mays (L.) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L. R. Br.], constitutes the most important cereal crops in the rainfed semi-arid tropics. The discovery of A1 (milo) cytoplasmic nuclear male sterilility (CMS) in sorghum and its subsequent exploitation for hybrid production has revolutionized sorghum production world wide. Effective use of CMS has made it easier to incorporate the desired characters into hybrid parents. Hybrid sorghum seed production relies exclusively on CMS systems and almost all hybrid sorghum seed is produced by using the milo CMS (A1) system. In addition to the A1, several other cytoplasmic sources like A2, A3, A4, Indian A4 (A4 maldandi, A4 VZM, A4 G1) (Rao et al., 1984), A5, A6 and KS cytoplasms differing from each other and from the A1 (milo) CMS system were identified
