Interpretive Summary: Seventeen sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] pollinator lines with Tailwind (tw), a wild sorghum relative shattercane background having the herbicide resistance gene for acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibitor herbicides resistance were developed and released by the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, Manhattan, KS in 2014. These lines with enhanced resistance to ALS-herbicide are three-dwarf (dw1, Dw2, dw3, dw4) in height, photoperiod-insensitive and these seventeen lines restore fertility in the A1 cytoplasm system and hence can be used as R-lines in breeding programs to develop new hybrids with ALS-herbicide resistance. Variation in grain quality traits exist among the samples and this variation could be exploited to support development of ALS-resistant sorghum lines for different end-use markets.

Technical Abstract: Seventeen sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] pollinator lines with Tailwind (tw), a wild sorghum relative shattercane background having the herbicide resistance gene for acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibitor herbicides resistance were developed and released by the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, Manhattan, KS in 2014. These lines PR11/12-806 (Reg. No. XX-XXX, PI XXXXXX), PR11/12-807 (Reg. No. XX-XXX, PI XXXXXX), PR11/12-816 (Reg. No. XX-XXX, PI XXXXXX); PR11/12-821 (Reg. No. XX-XXX, PI XXXXXX), PR11/12-824 (Reg.

No. XX-XXX, PI XXXXXX), PR11/12-925 (Reg. No. XX-XXX, PI XXXXXX), PR11/12-928 (Reg. No. XX-XXX, PI XXXXXX), PR11/12-930 (Reg. No. XX-XXX, PI XXXXXX) and PR11/12-948 (Reg. No. XX-XXX, PI XXXXXX) with enhanced resistance to ALS-herbicide are three-dwarf (dw1, Dw2, dw3, dw4) in height, photoperiod-insensitive and these seventeen lines restore fertility in the A1 cytoplasm system and hence can be used as R-lines in breeding programs to develop new hybrids with ALS-herbicide resistance.
