Abstract
⺠Effect of six CMS systems on grain mold resistance is studied in iso-nuclear hybrids. ⺠The A1 cytoplasm is best suited for the development of sorghum hybrids with grain mold resistance. ⺠The A2 and A4(VZM) cytoplasms can be exploited without increasing the risk of grain mold. ⺠The A4(M) cytoplasm contributed to superior GCA effects while the A1 and A4(VZM) contributed to superior SCA effects. ⺠Significant heterosis is reported on all CMS systems based hybrids.
