Abstract
The influence of pericarp, testa and endosperm characteristics on the appearance and classification of grain-sorghum types is outlined. Progress is also reported on the development of short, early-maturing lines. Selections from early back-cross generations have been subjected to grain-quality analyses. The data indicate that wide variability in physical characteristics exists and may be useful in improving grain quality. Results of assessments of the relative processing properties of several commercial hybrids are also given. These show scope for the development of types suitable for human food
