Cytoplasmic male-sterility affects expression of resistance to Shoot Bug (Peregrinus maidis), Sugarcane Aphid (Melanaphis sacchari) and Spotted Stem Borer (Chilo partellus) in Sorghum

Abstract

Discovery of cytoplasmic male-sterility (CMS) has led to large-scale exploitation of heterotic potential for increasing crop production (Kaul 1988). Most of the sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] hybrids developed have
