Abstract
Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is a widespread grass of the African savanna. It contains wild and cultivated subspecies which have morphologically distinct ecogeographic races. Measurements of the amount of oil andproteinin sorghum grains revealed significant differences inproteinlevels between wild and cultivated subspecies. Measurements of the relative percentages of fatty acid componentsof oil also revealed significant differences inlevelsof oleic and linoleic acid among wild and cultivated races. We conclude that morphological differences acquired in the course of differentiation of ecogeographic races have been paralleled by differentiation inlevelsoflipidcomponentsand grain proteinlevels
