It is the most important cereal crop, after rice and wheat.  The number of reports describing the use of transgenic Sorghum for basic studies in Biotechnology is still limited when compared to other crops.

Embryogenic callus was obtained from mature seed explants on medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Primary somatic embryos (SEs) can only develop into abnormal plants. Well-developed SEs could be obtained through secondary somatic embryogenesis both in solid and liquid cultures. Temperature strongly affected induction frequency of secondary embryogenesis. Relatively high temp...
