Description The development of high-yielding, climate-resilient and product profile-driven cultivars preferred by the end users is the only way out in the context of changing climatic scenario and growing world population. The hybrids of the versatile crop, sorghum, are grown across the globe; however, the genetic gains have been limited as compared to other major crops. This chapter provides an overview of the trend of sorghum breeding from the time before the advent of heterosis till date where heterosis is accompanied by biotechnological and ‘omic-’ based approaches to study the genetic basis of traits and the concept behind it. An adequate strategy to apply different techniques in the selection of parental lines will aid in achieving the desired genetic gains specific to targeted environments.
