The article describes advances in the use of biotechnology in sorghum crop improvement. Tissue culture technique has been effectively utilized in selection of genotypes tolerant to stress factors and in the propagation of sorghum plants. Biotechnological tools are very useful to understand the basic principles of cell genetics and mechanisms of resistance of sorghum genotypes for tolerance to various biotic factors, such as insects, diseases, weeds, and abiotic stress factors such as drought, high temperature, salinity etc. A good advance has been achieved in gene mapping related to various basic genetics and stress resistances.
