Narrative

Six sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] germplasm lines Tx3483 through Tx3488 (Reg. No.___ to___, PI__ to PI ¬¬___) are proposed for release by Texas A&M Agrilife Research. These lines were developed and tested by the Agrilife Research sorghum breeding and genetics program. Tx3483 through Tx3488 are pollinator parents that combine waxy endosperm with improved agronomic performance and grain functionality. In combination with a waxy endosperm seed parent, these lines produce waxy endosperm hybrids with consistently higher yield than the currently available waxy check hybrid. Additionally, some of these germplasms produce hybrids with improved grain composition and functional properties of the derived flour.
