Abstract

Sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, was successfully propagated from proliferated spikelets caused by head smut, Sphacelotheca reiliana (Kuehn) Glint. Undetached panicles with proliferated spikelets were surrounded with moist soil until the spikelets developed roots. Removing and transplanting the rooted spikelets resulted in the development of normal plants.
