Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is the fifth most important
crop among cereals in the world. It has advantageous adaptation to
semi-arid climate, such as higher water-use efficiency than maize

regeneration of transgenic plants has been limited by accumulation of
phenolics, low regeneration rate and short duration of regenerability
exhibited by callus cultures (Elhag and Butler, 1992; Jeoung et al
