The coloured picture of the line is provided for easy identification. The genetic variability for all the metric traits is conspicuous and for some of the qualitative traits like anthocyanin coloration, glume color differences between the lines are not quite revealing. Among the biochemical traits such as sucrose, glucose and fructose the differences are significant among the cultivars KW - Cultivars KW - Hybrids KW - Pedigree KW - Rainy KW - Kharif KW - Quantitative Traits KW - Stalk yield KW - Sugar yield KW - grain yield KW - Glucose KW - Fructose KW - Sucrose Y1 - 2013/// SP - 31 T2 - Characterization of Improved Sweet Sorghum Cultivars ID - icrisat6898 EP - 79 ER -
