Moench] accessions exhibiting contrasting reactions to the grain mold&#13;
complex were grown in two consecutive rainy seasons at the International Crops Research Institute&#13;
for the Semi-Arid Tropics, Patancheru, India. Methanol and acidified methanol extracts of grains&#13;
harvested at different grain development stages were analyzed for flavan-4-ols. The concentrations&#13;
of flavan-4-ols in mold-resistant grains were at least 2-fold higher than in mold-susceptible grains in&#13;
both extracts at or after 30 days of flowering. Concentration of flavan-4-ols in mature, grain sorghums&#13;
could, therefore, be an indicator of their potential resistance or susceptibility to grain mold,&#13;
and this method could be an important tool in screening sorghum cultivars for such characteristics</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Sorghum</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">1990</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>American Chemical Society</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
