Abstract: A novel sorghum variety designated 2PQJD15R and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are provided. Methods for producing a plant comprise crossing sorghum variety 2PQJD15R with another plant. Sorghum seed, plants and plant parts produced by crossing sorghum variety 2PQJD15R with another plant are described. Methods for producing a plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into 2PQJD15R include one or both of backcross conversion and transformation. Hybrid sorghum seed, plants or plant parts produced by crossing the sorghum variety 2PQJD15R or a locus conversion of 2PQJD15R with another sorghum variety are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and compositions useful in sorghum breeding are provided. Methods of producing haploid sorghum embryos, plants, seeds, and plant parts are provided. The sorghum haploid embryos produced may be doubled to produce doubled haploid embryos, plants, seeds, and plant parts as part of a sorghum breeding program.

Abstract: Two sorghum maternal haploid inducer lines SMHI01 and SMHI02 are provided including seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing sorghum haploid embryos using SMHI01 and SMHI02 are also provided. The sorghum haploid embryos produced as a result of the use of either maternal haploid inducer line SMHI01 or SMHI02 may be doubled to produce doubled haploid embryos, seeds, and plants as part of a sorghum breeding program.
