An investigation was carried out to assess the performance of selected mini core collection and promising varieties of sorghum for grain quality traits and productivity traits. Highly significant difference was observed among the selected mini core accessions and varieties of sorghum for all the traits except true density in selected mini core accessions. Mini core accessions found significantly superior over standard check M35-1 for all the traits except seed yield per plant and true density. IS-15931 was the tallest plant with highest panicle length, seed yield per plant and hundred seed weight with maximum seed size with highest seed protein content. IS-13459 and IS-1041were top performing accessions for seed protein and seed amylose content. Among varieties, SVD-803 was having highest seed yield per plant, hundred seed weight, seed size, seed volume, bulk density and seed amylose content. The top performing superior lines can be used as donar parent in crop improvement programme.
