Plants and seeds of sorghum variety GSV958220

A method of introducing a single locus conversion into sorghum variety GSV958220 comprising:

• (a) crossing a plant of sorghum GSV958220, a representative sample of seed of said sorghum variety GSV958220 having been deposited under ATCC Accession No. PTA-11200, with a second plant comprising a desired single locus to produce F1 progeny plants;
• (b) selecting one or more F1 progeny plants that have the single locus;
• (c) crossing the one or more selected F1 progeny plants with at least a first plant of sorghum variety GSV958220 to produce backcross progeny plants;
• (d) selecting backcross progeny plants that have the single locus and otherwise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of sorghum variety GSV958220 listed in Table 1 as determined at the 5% significance level for quantitative data;
• and
• (e) repeating steps (c) and (d).

A method of producing an inbred plant derived from the sorghum GSV958220, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) preparing a progeny plant derived from sorghum GSV958220, a representative sample of seed of said sorghum variety GSV958220 having been deposited under ATCC Accession No, PTA-11200, by crossing a plant of the sorghum GSV958220 with a plant of a second variety;
• (b) crossing the progeny plant with itself or a second plant to produce a seed of a progeny plant of a subsequent generation;
• (c) growing a progeny plant of a subsequent generation from said seed and crossing the progeny plant of a subsequent generation with itself or a second plant;
• and
• (d) repeating the crossing step and the growing step for an additional three or more generations with sufficient inbreeding to produce an inbred plant derived from the sorghum GSV958220.
