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
