Abstract

NP33, NP34, and NP35 Sudangrass [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] [formerly S. sudanense (Piper) Staph] (Reg. no. GP-241, GP-242, and GP-243; PI 535777, PI 535778, and PI 535779) are three related random-mating populations that were developed cooperatively by the USDA-ARS and the Nebraska Agricultural Research Division and were released in April 1989. These populations represent a broad range of genetic diversity for a variety of agronomic traits and dhurrin level, and NP34 and NP35 contain the ms₃ gene for male sterility.
