        abstract = {Sorghum is an important cereal crop where
cytoplasmic male sterility is exploited for hybrid
breeding. Presently, A1 cytoplasm CGMS system has
been well established because of the ease and stability
of fertility restoration. Conventionally, genetic purity
of hybrids is ensured by grow out test. In this context,
DNA marker assisted selection technology offers an
efficient alternative over traditionally grow out test
especially in terms of time, environmental influence,
space and cost-effective. Microsatellite markers are
best suited for genetic purity assessment due to codominant
nature.}
