Abstract
A world collection of Sorghum consisting of 4,027 stocks from 44 countries, maintained at I.A.R.I., New Delhi was studied for the distribution of pigmentation in ten plant parts, viz., leaf, sheath, junctura, margin, blade, mid-rib, node, internode, pulvinus, glume and apiculus. About 35 per cent. of the total population exhibited pigmentation on one or more plant organs. The pigmented lines fell into 174 classes, where 95 classes involved two or more varieties and the remaining 79 classes had only one variety each. The interrelationship of genes and loci governing the anthocyanin pigmentation in different parts of the Sorghum plants has been discussed. The geographical and taxonomic distribution of alleles for pigmentation was explored. It was concluded that the impact of the artificial selection forces played a considerable role in determining the nature of allelic distribution in different geographical regions while the centre of origin might be equally important factor for determining the role of alleles for pigmentation in the divergence between populations
