A laboratory experiment was conducted in the Department of Biology, Faculty of Education (Saber) – Aden University, to evaluate the effect of Five different concentrations of mannitol solution (i,e., control, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0%) on germination and growth of three cultivars of Sorghum bicolor L. i.e., "HAIQ", "BAINI" and "SAIF". The results showed significant differences between the three cultivars for all studied parameters except for the root dry weight mg./seedling. The cultivar "HAIQ" was the most tolerant one, then the cultivar "SAIF", whereas the cultivar "BAINI" was the least tolerant one (95%, 92.1% and 89.4%, respectively). The cultivar "HAIQ" …
