An experiment was conducted in Kharabo station which belongs to the faculty of agriculture, Damascus university during the growing season 2009 ! 2010, to evaluate the response of seventeen sorghum genotypes under water stress conditions during the flowering stage according to the randomized complete block design (RCBD), with three replicates.

A hydroponic culture experiment was conducted under the green house conditions, at the general commission of scientific agricultural research, and the faculty of agriculture, Damascus university, during the year 2002-003. The objectives of this in vestigation concentrated on the influence of four salinity levels (0-50-100-150 mM NaCl) on some physiological parameters of eight sorghum genotypes. The experiment was designed in a RCB design with three replications.
Laboratory experiment was conducted in the laboratories of field crops department, Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus University, during the year 2011, in order to screen some lentils genotypes to osmotic stress at seedling stage.
Heritability and genetic advance of some grain yield components and some morpho-physiological traits in 36 sorghum hybrids [Sorghum bicolor L. Moench] produced by top-cross using cytoplasmic male sterility were estimated. Narrow-sense heritabilit y for plant height and head length were relatively high in Damascus location (65% and 56%) respectively, but the narrow-sense heritability of all characters in Raqqa location were low, the range was from 3% for threshing percentage to 34% for plant height, and from 22% for seed weight/head to 60% for plant height in the combined analysis. Genetic advance estimates were relatively low for all characters, the range was from 0% for 100 seed weight to 28.3% for plant height (Damascus location), and from 0.02% for seed numbers/head to 15.2% for plant height (Raqqa location), and from 5.8% for the number of days to flowering to 26.5% for plant height (combined analysis). Some characters such as plant height and head length showed relatively high values of heritability, but exhibited low values of genetic advance. Therefore other characters had low heritability coupled with low values of genetic advance indicated predominance of non-additive gene action. This result implies the need for several generations of selection to improve grain yield components and other traits.
Different experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions, at the Faculty of Agriculture – Damascus University, in order to develop a suitable and efficient screening tool, which can be applied to assess the genetic variability among 20 sor ghum genotypes (Izraa series) for high salt stress tolerance. We were able to develop a screening technique involves pre- exposing sorghum seedlings to a sub – lethal level of salinity stress (induction stress) (150 mM NaCl) for 16 hrs which can induce the genotypes to prepare defensive means, which may differ according to the genetic potentiality of each genotype. These protective responses may help the genotype to endure the lethal level of salinity stress (400 mM NaCl) for 48 hrs. At a later stage, the seedlings were transferred to distilled water for 72 hrs and the rate of recovery growth was taken as a criterion to select the highly salt tolerant genotypes by using Zdistribution analysis. Results revealed that genotypes such as: Izraa 10, Izraa 15, and Izraa 18 could be classified as salt tolerant genotypes which showed higher recovery growth and the least growth reduction over the control. Whereas a genotype such as Izraa 22 was grouped as salt sensitive one where the percent growth reduction over the control was greater, indicating that this genotype has low recovery growth ability. Our results suggest that the proposed screening technique is rapid, effective, and match the natural screening.
Ssilverleaf nightshade (Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav.) is a serious weed to cotton and other field summer crops due to the alkaloids present in the plant and have allelopathic potential on the germination of other plants. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) h ave been investigated as a allelopathic crop having strong competition potential in the field containing many numerous water solution allelochemicals and can be used to control weeds in field crops. A field competition study between sorghum and silverleaf nightshade plants was conducted to determine how long every plant can resist against the other.
