Description This special issue of the International Sorghum and Millets Newsletter focuses on the history of the development of sorghum hybrid parents at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and their characterization data for the traits stipulated in the Distinctiveness, Uniformity and Stability (DUS)-test guidelines. It contains the morphological characterization data of 269 designated (lines referring to those which are stabilized and evaluated for specific traits and/or grain yield compared to known controls and assigned ICRISAT numbers; A-/B-lines are prefixed by ICSA while R-lines are prefixed by ICSR) A1 (milo) cytoplasmic-nuclear male sterility system (CMS)-based trait-specific sorghum A-/B-lines, and 156 R-lines collected for all the traits as stipulated in the DUS-test guidelines for sorghum and other traits of interest including grain yield. The strategy for protecting ICRISAT products, the descriptions of the seed parents, the three phases of ICRISAT seed parents' research (phase I (1978-88), phase II (1989-98) and phase III (1999 onwards)) and the development of restorer lines are briefly discussed.
