Abstract

Sorghum of the family Peaceae (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench) is an important crop grown worldwide. Sorghum head smut (Sporisorium reilianum(Kuhn)Langdon & Fullerton) is one of major diseases in sorghum production. That are reviewed from the following several aspects of the problem such as the incidence, hazards and physiological race variations of sorghum head smut, the genetic Traits and gene mapping of sorghum resistance to head smut and the research progress on sorghum resistance mechanism to sporisorium reiliana. It is summarized that fine mapping and cloning for sorghum genetic resistance to head smut not only help to employ molecular markers to improve resistance breeding efficiency, but also prove favorable to immune molecular mechanism study on head smut.
