Protein digestibility in grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is affected by the structure of endosperm protein bodies that limits access of digestive enzymes to storage protein. In this experiment, we studied the effect of endosperm dosage of high digestible alleles (hd(+)) on protein digestibility in sorghum hybrids carefully constituted for such a study. We also examined the effect that these alleles may have on endosperm protein body structure and agronomic performance of the hybrids. The results showed that protein digestibility, endosperm texture and protein body morphology were highly influenced by dosage of mutant alleles. Genotypes carrying two or more hd(+) alleles had significantly higher protein digestibility than those with one or no mutant allele. Similarly, higher doses of these alleles resulted in opaque endosperm phenotype while the wild type alleles produced normal vitreous texture. Moreover, hybrids carrying variable proportions of mutant alleles had uniquely irregular but variable protein body structure that was distinct from spherical protein bodies found in normal genotypes. Agronomic performance was not affected by dosage of digestibility alleles.
