摘      要：Sorghum is an important staple food crop of Asian and African *** a poor man s crop,it provides dietary starch,protein,and some vitamins and *** are important for various physiological functions in the human *** a major staple crop of central and southern Indian provinces,sorghum landraces are a source of supplementary *** of micronutrients and protein and yield parameters were studied using 112 local landraces and *** analysis revealed wide variation for iron(1.10-9.54 mg 100 g^(-1)),zinc(1.12-7.58 mg 100 g^(-1)),protein(3.50-12.60%),and grain yield(2.50-76.50 g) among the *** estimates of genetic/phenotypic coefficient of variation,and genetic advances over the mean were identified for landraces and *** heritabilities were also identified for yield and mineral *** estimates among the genotypes indicated that grain yield was positively correlated with copper and protein with copper and *** analysis based on Euclidean distance resolved all of the genotypes into three major *** wide range of values with high heritability estimates may favor the use of these landraces in recombination breeding to improve nutritional quality in sorghum.
