Description Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] accessions exhibiting contrasting reactions to the grain mold
complex were grown in two consecutive rainy seasons at the International Crops Research Institute
for the Semi-Arid Tropics, Patancheru, India. Methanol and acidified methanol extracts of grains
harvested at different grain development stages were analyzed for flavan-4-ols. The concentrations
of flavan-4-ols in mold-resistant grains were at least 2-fold higher than in mold-susceptible grains in
both extracts at or after 30 days of flowering. Concentration of flavan-4-ols in mature, grain sorghums
could, therefore, be an indicator of their potential resistance or susceptibility to grain mold,
and this method could be an important tool in screening sorghum cultivars for such characteristics
