Narrative

Tx3362 is unique because the pericarp of the grain is essentially black grown in normal field conditions. The dark color results from very high levels of 3-deoxyanthocyanins in the pericarp of the grain and this class of compounds has been classified as an antioxidant. Therefore, grain of Tx3362 has potential use and application as a natural colorants and source of antioxidants. Because these compounds are present In the perlcarp, they are easily concentrated by simply decorticating the grain and col/ectlng the resulting bran. Tx3362 sorghum gerrnplasm can be used as a line per se to produce grains rich in 3-deoxyanthocyanins or as a breeding parent to produce additional lines with this unique characteristic.
