Herbicide resistant sorghum
View Patent ↗Sorghum genotypes that exhibit resistance to dinitroanaline herbicides are disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of sorghum genotypes with resistance to dinitroanaline herbicides, to the plants of sorghum genotypes with resistance to dinitroanaline herbicides, to plant parts of sorghum genotypes with resistance to dinitroanaline herbicides and to methods for producing a sorghum plant produced by crossing of one or more sorghum genotypes with resistance to dinitroanaline herbicides with itself or with another sorghum plant.
1. A sorghum seed containing an allele which confers resistance to dinitroanaline herbicides designated SP6493, wherein said seed containing said SP6493 allele has been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-9658.
2. A sorghum plant produced by growing the seed of claim 1 .
3. Pollen of the plant of claim 2 .
4. An ovule of the plant of claim 2 .
5. A tissue culture comprising regenerable cells of the plant of claim 2 .
6. A sorghum plant regenerated from said tissue culture of claim 5 .
7. A method for producing F1 hybrid sorghum seed comprising crossing a first parent sorghum plant with a second parent sorghum plant and harvesting the resultant F1 hybrid sorghum seed, wherein first or second parent sorghum seed is the sorghum of claim 2 .
8. A first generation (F1) hybrid sorghum plant produced by growing said hybrid sorghum seed of claim 7 .
9. A sorghum seed produced by growing the plant of claim 8 .
10. Pollen of the plant of claim 8 , wherein said pollen confers to a sorghum plant grown from a seed made with the pollen that is resistant or tolerant to one or more dinitroanaline herbicides.
11. An ovule of the plant of claim 8 .
12. A tissue culture comprising regenerable cells of the plant of claim 8 .
13. A sorghum plant regenerated from said tissue culture of claim 12 .
