Abstract
A phloroglucinol-HCl assay for lignin, which detects aldehyde groups, was performed on tissue of normal and brown midrib 6 mutant sorghum. The colour formed in this lignin assay was greater in the brown midrib 6 mutant than in the normal tissue. The mutant lignin contained c. 3 times more aldehyde groups than the normal lignin, but there was less lignin in the mutant than in the normal
