“…Sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) originated in Sub-Saharan Africa, and is a major food crop in arid and semi-arid regions of the world (Balota et al 2008). Although sorghum has a wide range of adaptability and can be grown in a wide series of environments, including heat, drought, salinity and flooding (Ejeta and Knoll, 2007), this crop is usually affected by water stress at both pre- and post-flowering stages of development and has the most adverse effect on yield during and after anthesis (Tuinstra et al 1997; Kebede et al 2001; Blum 2004). Post-flowering drought stress reduces the number and size of the seeds per plant (Rosenow and Clark 1995) by 36 and 55%, respectively, which are the main causes for lower grain yield in sorghum (Assefa et al 2010).…”

“…Increased WUE associated with water stress conditions often results in reduced yield (Blum, 2005). Sorghum, one of the most droughttolerant cereal crops currently under cultivation (Blum, 2004), is reported to have high WUE (Hammer et al, 1997;Henderson et al, 1998;Mortlock and Hammer, 1999;Rooney, 2004) and RUE (Hammer and Vanderlip, 1989;Rosenthal et al, 1989Rosenthal et al, , 1993Kiniry et al, 1989;Muchow, 1989). Sorghum is the fifth major cereal crop in the world in terms of production and acreage.…”

“…These are; drought, shoot fly, stem borer, midge, grain mold and striga that together cause an estimated total yield loss to the tune of US$ 3032 million (Blum, 2004). Nevertheless, drought stress is one of the major agronomic problems that limit the attainment of maximum yield more than any other environmental parameter, with special reference to the arid and semi-arid regions (Krieng, 1975;Tuinstra et al, 1997;Abdula et al, 2004).…”
