Abstract

In the 2011 – 2013 period of the first experimental field of the Institute of Forage Crops – Pleven under field conditions 14 mutant lines for grain sorghum were tested. Phenological observations, biometric measurements were performed and determined the content of condensed tannins in the grain for each mutant forms. With regard to the parameters studied over the years of the study revealed one way data only mutant line M1 in which the length of panicle and grain weight of a panicle statistically significant (P = 0.05) exceed the standard – Verdon, allowing the line to be used in selection programs such as parental component because of its high productivity. It was found that the content of condensed tannins in all mutant lines ranges from 3.4% to 3.8% while for M10 and M11 reaches 4.1% of absolute dry weight.
