Abstract: The photosensitivity of 996 Chinese sorghum germplasm materials was investigated.The result showed that all the entries under 10 hours lumination per day flowered earlier than those under natural conditions.It was also revealed that photosensitivity of the different materials varied greatly.Of all the entries, 225 materials are highly photosensitive, 736 medium, and 35 photoinsensitive.It suggests that photosensitivity of these materials is associated with the latitude of their original habitat.

Key words: Sorghum, Photoperiod, Photosensitivity
