Abstract

Host plant resistance is one of the important components for management of sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata. The levels of resistance in cultivated germplasm are low to moderate, and therefore, it is important to identify sorghum genotypes with diverse mechanisms of resistance based on physico-chemical and or molecular markers. We assessed the genetic diversity of 15 sorghum genotypes with different levels of resistance/susceptibility to shoot fly, A. soccata using 93 sorghum simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer pairs and simultaneously characterized for 15 morpho-biochemical traits associated with shoot fly resistance.
