Abstract
The degree of polymerization of the tannin extractable from high-tannin, bird resistant sorghum cv. remained constant and relatively low throughout seed development in the field. The degree of polymerization increased greatly on drying. It was concluded that bird repellancy, which is max. in immature undried seed, may be due to relatively short oligomers and nontannin phenolics and that the nutritive value of the grain would be improved if polymerization was inhibited during seed drying.
