Abstract
Allelism crosses among twelve mutants of sorghum gave inconsistent results but indicated more than one locus is involved in the brown-midrib trait. Additional crosses among the three most promising genotypes revealed bmr-12 and bmr-18 to be allelic and bmr-6 to have another location on the genome.
