Sorghum subspecies and varieties in China Chinese sorghum has two species according to their grain＇s glutinousness degree: the Jing subspecies (not glutinous) and glutinous subspecies. Most hybrid sorghum varieties in commercial production in the country at present belong to the Jing subspecies grown in the rnnorth China which is highly yielding but without satisfactory marketing price because of their poor palatability and less satisfactory spirit making quality. In comparison to the Jing rnvarieties,the glutinous mostly grown in the south are local cultivars which often have fine table quality but low grain yield,and thus,their cultivation can＇t be expanded wide in the country.
