AbstractTetraploid johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.] is a sexually-compatible weedy relative of diploid sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]. To determine the extent of interspecific hybridization between male sterile grain sorghum and johnsongrass and the ploidy of their progeny, cytoplasmic (CMS), genetic (GMS) and chemically induced male sterile lines of Tx623 and Tx631 were pollinated with johnsongrass pollen. At maturity 1% and 0.07% of the developing seeds of Tx623 and Tx631 respectively were recovered. Ninety-one percent of recovered hybrids were tetraploid and two percent were triploid, the tetraploids resulting from 2n gametes present in the sorghum female parent. Their formation appears to be genotype dependent as more tetraploids were recovered from Tx623 than Tx631. Because a tetraploid sorghum x johnsongrass hybrid has a balanced genome, they are male and female fertile providing opportunities for gene flow between the two species. Given the differences in 2n gamete formation among Tx623 and Tx631, seed parent selection may be one way of reducing the likelihood of gene flow. These studies were conducted in controlled and optimum conditions; the actual outcrossing rate in natural conditions is expected to be much lower. More studies are needed to assess the rates of hybridization, fitness, and fertility of the progeny under field conditions.

Efficient production of hybrid sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) seed requires a minimum but adequate proportion of the land for pollinator rows and that the male sterile and pollinator rows accommodate production machinery. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of distance from pollen source on male sterile seed yield and if presently used ratios of male sterile to pollinator rows could be increased without reduction in seed yield of the male sterile parent from the land area occupied by both parents. Seed was harvested from male sterile rows located from 1 (76 cm) to 40 (30 m) rows from the pollen source. Correlations and regression analyses showed that yield per row declined linearly with distance from the pollinator rows. However, yield of the male sterile parent per hectare of area occupied by both parents was increased by including up to at least six male sterile and two pollinator rows per strip. Male sterile to pollinator row ratios of 12:1 for sunflower and 7:1 for grain sorghum did not differ significantly from the commonly used 3:1 ratio in yield of male sterile parent per hectare of area occupied by both parents.Key words: Helianthus annuus L., Sorghum bicolor (L.)

In sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.], milo is the lone source of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) extensively used in production of commercial hybrids. The hazards of such a narrow cytoplasmic base are apparent and consequently new diverse sources like A2, A3, A4, maldandi, VZM and G1 were identified. However, the commercial exploitation of these sources has not been possible because of the difficulty in fertility restoration on these sources. The present study was, therefore, undertaken to test different sorghum germplasm lines for their fertility restoration/maintenance on maldandi and milo cytoplasm. Twenty-five diverse accession were selected from minicore collection and crossed with two male sterile lines viz., 104A (milo) and M 31-2A (maldandi). The resulting F1s were classified as fertility restorers and maintainers based on seed set on bagged ear heads. The restoration studies indicated that 2 lines on maldandi and 6 on milo cytoplasm showed strong fertility restoration (> 90 % seed set).

Seven grain sorghum lines (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) selected from the Sorghum Conversion Program (SCP) and their F1 hybrids from crosses with CK-60, Martin, and Redlan were evaluated. Days to midflower, height, rust (Puccinia purpurea Ckd.) reaction, number of heads/plot, test weight, threshing percentage, and grain yield were rated or measured. The seven lines when selfed were, in general, the latest to reach midf lower. Four height groups were observed; the taller hybrids were the result of the complementary effect of different height factors in the parents. Rust ratings ranged from 2.9 to 4.9; F1 hybrids Martin x 4, Martin x 7, and Redlan x 7 were the most susceptible to rust. Generally, sorghums with a high grain yield also had a high test weight and thresh ing percentage. The grain yield ranged from 1,866 to 4,261 kg/ha. Mean yields were, on the average, 26% higher for F1 hybrids than for their respective male parents. A 67% heterosis for grain yield was observed in two crosses invo lving Martin and Redlan female parents.

Sorghum Bicolor L

The production of sorghum hybrids depends almost entirely on one genic-cytoplasmic sterility system (Milo-Kafir, A1 Cytoplasm), therefore its importance in increasing the diversity of the number of male-sterile sources, as the named A2 Cytoplasm. This system was introduced at the Rio Bravo Experiment Station (lNIFAP-CIRNE) in Tamaulipas, Mexico, where ge-netic material and seed production were developed. The objetive was to compare the seed quality ofthe isocytoplasmic genotypes (A1 and A2 cytoplasm). A Completely Radomized Experimental Design with Factorial Arrangement and two replications was used. The results show that there were no differences between the two types of cytoplasm (A1 and A2) for the following quality traits: volumetric weight of seeds, 1000 seeds' weight, germination(G) and seedling dry weight (SDW), through nine months of storage; whereas in vigor (G and SDW after fast aging) the A2 cytoplasm surpassed the Al cytoplasm and the same behavior was observed on the seed harvested at its physiological maturity, while at harvest maturity the Al was superior in G and SDW.
