Abstract: The section Sorghum includes many important species as source of grain , fibers, fuel and secondary products (Lusardi and Lupotto 1990).On the other hand , those wild species, closely related to the grain sorghum S. bicolor (L.) Moench, represent an important source of germplasm for introgression into cultivated sorghum of genes related to insect and disease resistance and environmental stress tolerance (Brown 1982).Plant cell culture, biotechnology, and molecular genetics have been proposed as a means to modify crop plants in unconventional ways and thereby create superior genotypes (Smith 1988).However, if the manipulated genotypes (inbred lines and wild species) show low fre Materials and methods Genotypes Xinliang 1, Jinliang 5, Xiongyue 334, Xin White, C-401, and Pl-2 were random ly selected inbred lines from China; KS21R was from Kansas State University; and S. niloticum
