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 heritability 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.

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.
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.
This Research was conducted in the laboratory of tissue culture affiliated to the National Commission of Biotechnology (NCBT) during the period between 2011 -2012 for induction of callus from mature embryos for three local Genotypes of grain Sorgh um, regeneration of the plant from callus, rooting plantlets and acclimatization in order to get a plant capable to grow in greenhouse. The best concentration for sterilizing the plant and entering it in use was 5% NaOCL for 20 minutes. The addition of 2 mg/l of 2,4-D (2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) to MS medium caused an increase in the ratio of callus induction and embryogenic callus.
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.
This study was carried out during 2010-2011 growing seasons at the Maize Researches Department (G.C.S.A.R.) Damascus. To estimate heterosis for number of rows per ear, ear length, ear diameter, 100- kernel weight, and grain yield.
