Abstract

Sweet sorghum lines MN 960, Mer. 75-6, Mer. 76-1, Mer. 77-2, and Mer. 77-7 showed good levels of resistance to maize dwarf mosaic in the field over 10 yr when susceptible control varieties had more than 90% infection. However, when MN 960 was inoculated mechanically in the greenhouse with five strains of sugarcane mosaic virus, 70% of the inoculated plants became infected. Mer. lines 75-6, 76-1, 77-2, and 77-7 are all unreleased breeding lines with Brandes as one common parent
