%X This study was conducted to identify resistance
sources against the newly documented pathotypes (P5 and P6) of </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Sporisorium</span></i> <i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">reilianum</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">, causing sorghum
head smut. A subset of 67 sorghum association panel (SAP) accessions, 29 in
2017 and 38 in 2018 along with checks BTx635 (resistant) and BTx643
(susceptible) were screened in the greenhouse against P5 and P6 pathotypes in
two separate experiments in both years. At 18 to 20 days after planting,
accessions were inoculated by injecting the seedlings below the apical meristem
with sporidial suspensions following an established inoculation procedure.
Three accessions (PI656091, PI533919, and PI533821) in 2017 </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">and 17 accessions (PI597961, PI656071, PI656048,
PI576435, PI534075, PI534145,</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> PI656057, PI576437, PI651492, PI656014,
PI656025, PI655999, PI656010, PI656082, PI534123, PI533927, PI656100) in 2018
were identified as potential resistant sources to both P5 and P6 pathotypes of </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">S.</span></i> <i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">reilianum</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">.
These SAP accessions are new sources that can be further used to develop new
breeding parental lines and hybrids and mapping populations for quantitative
trait loci markers closely linked to head smut resistance.
