Three sorghum maternal haploid inducer lines 2PWCS25R, 2PNUM88R, and 2PCNW79R are provided including seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing sorghum haploid embryos using any of 2PWCS25R, 2PNUM88R, or 2PCNW79R are also provided. The sorghum haploid embryos/seeds/plants produced as a result of the use of any of maternal haploid inducer line 2PWCS25R, 2PNUM88R, or 2PCNW79R may be doubled to produce doubled haploid embryos, seeds, and plants (e.g., as part of a sorghum breeding program). Also provided is a method of generating a haploid sorghum embryo comprising performing emasculation on a first sorghum plant. The emasculation comprises contacting the first plant with Trifluoromethanesulfonamide (TFMSA).
