Abstract

Forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a very important fodder crop, therefore the improvement of this crop productivity is required. This study investigated the genetic variability among seven forage sorghum progenies in an experiment that was laid out as CRD in the greenhouse. The genetic diversity was assessed by using SSRs technique as well as some agronomical traits. The results showed that a number of grains per head can be used as an indicator of selection in breeding programs of this crop. However, SSRs result showed that there is variability among progenies under study and showed that the progeny 5 and 6 can be used in breeding programs, as they were very divergent. It can be concluded that there are variability of those progenies and can be utilized in further studies. It can be also recommended using large number of progenies as well as using more DNA-based markers.
