Research
Most sources of ergot
resistance are not stable across environments and, at
present, no stable source of resistance is available for
sorghum improvement. To explore the possibilities of
identifying resistance sources from exotic germplasm, this
study evaluates potential sources of ergot resistance within
the USDA-ARS National Plant Germplasm System sorghum
collection. Forty Chinese sorghum landraces were evaluated
for ergot resistance during the 2005 and 2006 growing
seasons.
